'57 Ariel Square Four

Post by Old Grinner »

Introduced more than 20 years earlier it was still being produced well into the 1950's . . .. 8)

Notice the separate exhaust pipes on this model (a design change brought forth in 1953).

Truly a magnificent machine.
When you're not riding it you can just sit back and look at it...

Wouldn't say no if somebody offered me one, but would much rather have a Vincent Black Lightning.
