Ariel in Motor Cycling 1930/31
Re: Ariel in Motor Cycling 1930/31
Today we stay in 1928 and start with the Motor Cycling report on the 1928 'International' which includes a nice passage praising the new 250 Ariel. I was just saying over the weekend how the 250s are overlooked and underrated. This article is followed by more snippets on Ariels and other makes. Enjoy!

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 although I'm sure buyers were glad they changed the name from the 250 Ariel Foal to the Colt! You can see a theme developing here as I also have an interest in the 250s only mainly the lightweight OG and OH from 1939......

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 Ariels was a report on the new lightweight's 10,000 mile test and a review of the 1929 Ariel models focusing again mainly on the lightweight 250s....
