Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

The green Fleet above was found in Queensland by the current owner in the mid 1970s. He acquired it for the motor and later discovered what it was. He then slowly restored it. As for it being slow, I believe it once made 45mph but I think that was going downhill. Another friend, after seeing and admiring the restoration had a 45mph PA speedo which he gave the current owner. I believe that has now been fitted. The top speed was recorded by a following car.

Apologies for joining the conversation a bit late! The picture in the OP is a Croft, if I recall correctly it had a 5CWT capacity and a 350cc JAP engine. I think it was a little earlier than the Fleet.

That Poor little Motor would work it's guts out. Nev
