1949 Ariel VW Bobber Special 500cc
Priced at SOLD. Factory records show that this Ariel was originally dispatched to Godfrey's Ltd., London on 17th of September 1949. Built as a custom 'Bobber' by the mechanic at Draganfly Motorcycles (the Ariel Specialists), who put in a lot of time & skill. He then clocked up a number of miles testing it in the Isle of Man. This Ariel has also been the feature of an article in Back Street Heroes magazine (see link below), which explains the work carried out. We purchased this Ariel Bobber from the builder after he decided he wanted a Sunbeam S7. We sold it to customer who only had it for a short time before unfortunately incurring a large expense which forced a sudden sale. We are now pleased to be able to offer this unique motorcycle for sale once again. Comes with a current DVLA V5C registration document, is registered for free road tax under the 'Historic Vehicle' class & has the advantage of being MOT exempt.
