The famous Ariel Red Hunters, with their flaming scarlet paintwork, first appeared in the 1932 in a range of sizes, such as the NH 350cc model. All used OHV single-cylinder engines and delivered performance befitting their status as Ariel’s leading sports model. They were to remain in production until 1959, with post-war models receiving the expected upgrades such as telescopic forks and aluminium alloy cylinder heads. The 500cc model was credited with an 87mph top speed, and the 350’s performance was similarly rapid for its class. Naturally, many found favour with racers and triallers.

This fantastic 1957 NH 350 has a long and distinguished trials history. Seemingly assembled in the ’80s, it received its registration in 1989 and since then has had only five registered keepers, including the fourth from 2007 to 2022. It was campaigned with much success through the ’90s, winning six Gold Medals in the Beamish Trial, and many other awards along the way. Now part of a small collection, it is thoroughly deserving of seeing the trials slopes again. It has been seen to run well and is supplied with the V5C, a dating certificate, various awards, and miscellaneous literature.
