1898 ariel tricycle
the ariel tricycle was a single seater that initially had a 2.25hp de dion engine mounted behind the rear axle. this however caused a tail heavy vehicle that would topple backwards in certain situations and so the rear frame was extended so that the engine could sit forward of the rear axle. you will notice in this photo that the tricycle has a cylindrical tank behind the seat. this was a form of water cooling that would circulate water around a cast water passage that sat on top of the engine. the vehicles proved to be very popular but eventually lost favour for the inability to carry passengers. this picture was kindly provided by www.3wheelers.com.

Here is a fantastic opportunity to obtain a truly historic motorcycle! This magnificent machine was originally exported to Poland where it survived the regimes of both Hitler & Stalin! It was re-imported to the UK in the early 1990's, where it was completely restored.

ariel singles tend to been a little overshadowed by the likes of norton, bsa and velocette, but they offer a serious alternative having produced some excellent competition mounts in the past. image provided by www.classic-auctions.com.

Ariel KHA 500 Twin
The Ariel 500 Twin is an interesting Val Page design. The pushrods are located in each corner of the cylinder in order that cooling air could pass between each cylinder unhindered and also because of that the inlet tract could be at a smoother more acute angle for more efficient gas flow into the combustion chamber. The connecting rods have their nuts facing upwards so that the big ends could be inspected without removing the engine from the frame and a major stripdown.
