These are great photos of the 1953 Ariel range!
I was bicycling in Sardegna for a few weeks and came to a nice book about the history of Bologna. Inside was this nice photo of a device how to stop your house burn down using an Ariel. I wonder if this can be used nowadays to drive your Kaercher steamer cleaning the driveway from oily spots?

I think this was taken in Liverpool,the reg no is from there.

Klaus, I think you'd cook the motor pretty fast powering that pump without a fan. . Nev

Hi Nev, I think you are absolutely right, at least if you live in hot Alice Springs. Maybe it takes a little longer in northern Norway in wintertime!
Cheers Klaus

People are resourceful. A pump is a good example. I discovered these photos today.

Interesting photos - as always!

The first one in Karol's set above (happy chap on cammy four) is remarkably similar to the image used on page 2 of the 1932 sales catalogue.
