Hello Bob, yes the rest is there .
Rolling parts are from a Comet, same dimensions as a Rapide or BS.
The one on your pic is a B series Rapide with Brampton fork.
Mine has a Girdraulic front fork and to make it 21st century it gets a (French) elek starter, BMW switchgear (actually 20th Century as from a /5) and modern carbs.
perhaps Mikuni's as it is reported that they run very well on those and they are pleasantly cheap.(for a change) :D

Hmmm, I'll think about that.
it's a Ariel forum so I should keep it like that.
I've already stretched it a bit by throwing my trailer on here .

I like it ! A little over the top but you could take the lights off and get rid of the gilt in the windows, it would be in the way of proper viewing.
