Probably not Ralf... I guess that it APR, not ARR? APR is 1957; PE is 1954.

It's NICE to have MATCHING Numbers but it's NOT the end of the WORLD IF THEY DON'T. Nev

A 1954 engine fits perfectly into this frame and is the same as the original engine. The bike looks correct for 1957, probably wrong chainguard, horn is modern, front mudguard looks a bit like a BSA one with sharper corners but may be the photo. seat is wrong, shocks are modern.
This bike has not been heard of since about 1992 when it was listed in the VMCC register, owner unknown but probably John Watts of Oxfordshire who is listed as its keeper in 1986. The UK registration was OTP 599, which is still listed on our vehicle registration authority as the same bike, so you could bring it here, fit a number plate and carry on.

Re: Ariel VB matching no. ?
front mudguard looks like it has a rib in the centre.
Side valances are welded in ?
That has been some job !
cylinderhead has all its fins ! good!

More of a general Ariel topic than a historic one - so moved!
