Ariel made their name with singles before WW2 - the late '30s Red Hunter
was a fine bike in it's day, considered very sporty, with an after-market
Hartley cam and a 1 3/16 TT carb fitted it was a genuine 100mph machine.
Post war models were heavier and slower but still very pleasant and
reliable bikes - and not *too* inclined to spew their oil all over the
place :-)
