I had a similar question with a '39 OG 250 I was restoring. It has a V5C, was registered decades ago but when I looked at both the frame and engine numbers the prefix for the frame wasn't an Ariel one and the engine prefix was for a '35 engine. There was no sign of the numbers being removed and re-s...

Hi John, I've sent you a PM.

I get my pipes and silencers from Feked when I can't find originals and they've always been spot on. I can't fault them for service either.

Can't get better than that, thanks Paul I'll pass it on and sign up.

A friend of mine is looking at building a Geoff Duke Trials Colt replica but has little information to go on. Has anyone built one themselves or have any photo's or info beyond the little on the internet? He'll be grateful for anything anyone can help with.

There are some photo's of what looks to be a new Ariel 600 OHV Square Four and a Triumph on ebay. They're surrounded by what could be apprentices? The Ariel, registration number HFC894 has a Union Jack on the tank. Is this of significance? I can see they have blackout headlamp shrouds on so WW2 era....

Asking for a friend. Does anyone have a set of girder forks, front wheel and pair of mudguards for a 1938 Square Four for sale or swap?

Thanks in advance!

After a couple of days we're going back to 1926 for a very complimentary roadtest in Motor Cycling of the new 550 Black Ariel. Enjoy!

Thanks Johnny. I'm going to have to rebuild the HP gearbox on my OG250 as it jumps out of 2nd and 3rd which is a bit of a nuisance. There's not much to it so it can't be that difficult to fix - I hope! And so we come to the end of this 1928 volume and the last pages in Motor Cycling to feature Ariel...

So today's offering is chiefly from the 1929 model launch and the Motor Cycling reports on new models and improvements. Interestingly , as with yesterday's article there's a lot of focus on the 250 lightweights reminding us today how much these 'get to work' machines were valued back in the day alth...
