1959 Ariel Red Hunter 350cc. Registration number 284 UXL (non transferrable). Frame number CAPR 14084. Engine number AMA 2401.
By 1930, Ariel's Val Page-designed singles had gained a rear-mounted magneto and their distinctive timing cover, and the basic engine design, although frequently revised, would last well into the post-war era. The sports versions were christened 'Red Hunter' and under Page's successor Edward Turner, developed into fast and stylish machines. In 1946 the Hunters became the first models to feature Ariel's new telescopic front fork, and the following year could be ordered with the optional Anstey Link plunger rear suspension. In 1956 full-width alloy hubs were adopted across the range, and the Red Hunters continued in this form until production of Ariel four-strokes ceased in 1959.
UXL was re-registered with DVLA in 2005 and was with James Bury of Blackburn at this time before moving on to Peter Taylor and then to Wales with Brian Clifford in 2015 and Steven Jary before our vendor bought it from him in 2019.
He has not used it apart from occasionally starting it up.
Sold with the V5C, various receipts and paperwork, including old MOT's.
