1954 Norton Ariel Square 4 Restored

Expertly restored, at the core is a 1954 bike with matching numbers on engine, frame and gearbox. At the front is a 1954 front end with a ’49 fender, while out back is a ’56 fender over a Harley rear wheel! The tank is from a 1950 single cylinder Ariel .
At the heart of the machine is a fully rebuilt motor. Rebuilt from the crank up and featuring all of his tricks and nuances, the engine is in fine tune with strong power, having covered a mere 2500 miles since. The bike is built for the long distance haul with 70mph+ cruising speeds from the longer gearing (21 teeth at the gearbox instead of 19) and with the internal tweaks and oil cooler remains at proper running temperature whilst doing so. Brakes and all suspension parts were restored and a new correct wiring harness was installed.
Meticulously maintained, the bike is offered in excellent condition throughout in the very unusual British Racing Green livery.
This is a great opportunity to acquire a fantastic riding Ariel Square Four built by a true aficionado, accomplished engineer and one of the world’s leading marque experts. It is ready to ride anywhere and enjoyed in the process.
