The over head cam Square Four was replaced in 1937 by an over head valve version displacing 995cc and typed the 4G together with a smaller version displacing 599cc typed the 4F. For 1939 a "standard" version of the 995cc four was added to the range with the title 4H, the 4G becoming the De Luxe model. 1939 also saw the introduction of a compensated-link, plunger equipped frame which continued in use, complimented at the front by Ariel telescopic forks, when production resumed in 1946. The model continued with very little change until 1948 when a redesign took place, resulting in an all alloy engine, typed the Mark II. When "The Motor Cycle" tested an example of the Ariel Square Four Mark II in April 1953 they found that the machine was capable of nearly 100 mph, describing it as "a unique high-performance mount with gentle manners and outstanding acceleration", the result of twenty years of development.
The example offered was restored a number of years ago to original condition and is presented today in good condition throughout with the engine running nicely and the electrical and transmission systems functioning correctly.
