1950 VB for 2750,-

[Vincent.vanGinneke]

Why bother building a VB when I can have this one for 2750,- GBP
At Andy Tiernan.


1950 Ariel VB 600cc
Priced at £2,750. This pretty Ariel side valver has come to us from Newmarket, the last owner only selling it on to buy another machine. This tele/rigid example of Ariel's largest side valve machine starts, runs & has been recently rewired by our electrical technician. Comes with a current DVLA V5C registration document, is registered for free road tax under the 'Historic Vehicle' class & benefits from the advantage of being MOT exempt.

A mix of years and parts but good value

A bargain…

Looks like it's sold

A VB for 2750,- while building one atm would cost near 5500,- GBP, well...o.k. to build one properly
If you're in to classic bikes, just enjoy them as the days of buying a bike as a investment or for boosting your ego are over.
Recent article in Het Motorrijwiel (Dutch monthly) by the main classic bikes man from Catawiki also shows that those days are over.
Top notch bikes will still be sold but go straight to a museum.
No one will use a original 1939 322.000,-Pounds HRD Vtwin for a continental tour, what?? any tour!
Other bikes you best keep as shed decoration, no more do they have the value you once dreamt about.
See this late SQ4 four piper, leave the sidecar at Andy and you can take it with you for 7000,-
Seventhousend!
Over 12K SQ4's ? ....no sale, use it as your gravestone

Bottom line is, enjoy them while you can -now- and forget about the value, as by the time you want to sell there will be no one who needs one !
See result from the latest Stafford auction, over and done!

Long way to go…

I know the previous owner of the MKII and Cammy for sale at Andy's, they are both very good sorted bikes. Bargains
