Draganfly has acquired a massive haul of Ariels!

Post by Dave.Barkshire »

Spotted on the RealClassic group. Draganfly have acquired a massive haul of Ariels.

This is the text...

🤩We've acquired around 65 full motorcycles, the majority of them pre-1950 Ariels! In accordance with the late owners' wishes, we will selling the bikes complete, NOT breaking them. Mostly singles and Square Fours, with a few Twins. Prices will start from around £2,000 depending on the completeness of each machine. Initially these will be made available to Ariel Owners Club members, but please register your interest with us and we will keep a list of who is keen on what! spares@draganfly.co.uk
We will be offering rebuild services for those that want it, with a dedicated engineer 🔧, more details to follow.

🚛Also a round of applause for Roger, Iain, Niki and Mick who spent days driving vans back and forth, lugging heavy metal around and organising all the bits (although Roger and Mick not-so-secretly enjoyed the organising)

More news soon but it will take some time to sort this lot out as all the bikes are in pieces and i mean completely in pieces, apart from the gearboxes. There will no doubt be some spares leftover but we won't know what is spare until all the bikes have been allocated their bits.
