['That actually looks too good to be in the garden Ian...']
It's a classic case of a photo lying in favour of the subject...:laughing: ....The other side of the head and barrel has much of the finning broken off...The gearbox has a hole in it caused by long term corrosion and is rusted internally...The mag and dynamo are rotten etc. etc.....The engine and gearbox had basically fallen out of what was left of the frame and all that's left of the oil tank is the return pipe!!.....
There may be a couple of usable internal parts but nothing of any value or anything I haven't already got multiples of...
It came from a hedge in Worcestershire where it had been for decades....I splashed out £25 on it!!...:relaxed: ..It's got a WDM20 engine as a close neighbour as well....Ian
i use them as shop art, i beadblast/sandblast/vaporblast them then weld up little stands out of sq tube and they are all over my shop
but when people need one for their restoration i sell them.. i have a triumph TR5C, BSA C12, 74 Trident, 51 AJS model 30, prewar Blackburne, 50 B31, Villiers, TRW 500, Ariel SQ4, but then i dont have a garden...
I found this a little while ago in my Dads store shed! Apparently its a 1913 V twin Ariel. He tells me he has the engine etc but its not been uncovered as yet. %%bbCodeItem_1%%
