Many thanks Keith

Form what I can find on line, it seems SB was the 1951 prefix for the 500 twin "Plunger" model (so they had relative comfort!).

However I will certainly take expert advice and actual records over my googling!

Regards. Chris

Chris, it seems that the Machine Registrar, Bennet Longman, is the guy to contact regarding getting a Dating Certificate from the AOMCC. He can be contacted via email at registrar@arielownersmcc.com for further details on applying.
Yes, from the information I have the SB frame reference is for 1951 plunger framed 500cc twin KH and KG models which will have engines starting with the code 'RC'.
Good luck with your ongoing quest for information !
Regards,
Keith.
ps. Cannot make out the agent's name (?) in the last column. Any ideas ?

Fantastic. Many thanks Keith and Dave

I also asked the question to the Kent archives overnight and she also says it reads Boyers of Bromley. Seems they were a well known dealer by the sound of it. I will now contact Bennet 👍 Thanks again gents. Cheers. Chris.
