Under the name Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, in the 1930s they moved to a new factory in Selly Oak, Birmingham. Models such as the Red Hunter, proved to be so successful it enabled Ariel to purchase Triumph motorcycles, eventually becoming part of the BSA group in 1951. Introduced for the 1954 season, the new 650cc twin-cylinder Ariel Huntmaster utilised the highly regarded BSA A10 Golden Flash engine in the newly developed Ariel pivoted fork frame and has the distinction of being the brands last new four-stroke model before the arrival of the two-stroke Leader range in the early 1960s.
This rare bike, with its combination of the tried and tested A10 engine mounted in Ariels own frame, has been part of a small private collection for a number of years, unfortunately not run for a while due to ill health. The bike has been restored at some point in its life and the engine turns over on the kickstarter, but it will need recommissioning before use. A great talking point of a bike once people spot the engine/frame combination, and perfectly usable bike on vintage runs and rallies, the duplicate V5C has been applied for by the vendor.
