137 BNU - chesterfield sighting

[admin]

Hello,

Some 50+ years ago I used to own and ride a 1956 500cc Ariel Vertical Twin.

In December 2018, whilst I was waiting at a road junction in Chesterfield
Derbyshire, I saw the very same motorcycle travel past in front of me. I
immediately recognised the silhouette and registration on the blade plate
on the front mudguard. Previous to this the last time that I saw this
machine was about 1968 when I gave it back to the person that I bought it
from. This machine holds many precious memories for myself and my wife
(then girlfriend), and I would dearly like to find and speak with the
current owner and see the machine again.

The registration is 137 BNU, and I would like to ask whether you could
offer me any assistance in contacting the owner.

Regards,

C R Brigg
