Loth to put this up… looks great to my uneducated eye. Only one thing stopping me buying it… £5,750.

Here is a beautiful unrestored very very original Ariel VH 500cc in excellent running order complete with V5C doc and original transferable registration. Starts well and sound excellent mechanically, not smoking, good oil return. Charging system working well and lights all good. Speedo working. Good brakes, good handling. Nice all round rideable condition. Nice year and model tele-rigid getting very hard to find especially in this unmolested condition!

Sort of last of the" traditional looking" Ariels. and NO PANEL in the tank. I confess to bias as I bought one similar but already restored over 20 years ago.and finding out all the numbers matched recently, has made it more appealing to me somehow. I thought the chances of that were very remote. the way Ariels Parts interchange over the years.. Nev
