Beschreibung:

This outstandingly original Ariel Arrow has been in the Houghton family since it was purchased new by Roy's father from Alec Bennett Ltd of Southampton in August 1960. Roy had served his apprenticeship at Bennett's and was working there as a car mechanic at the time; he is the only person who has ever laid hands on the Arrow in 60-plus years, during which he restored it twice, keeping to strictly original specification. The Arrow passed into Roy's ownership in the 1970s and was off the road for many years before being restored. The 26,738 miles odometer reading is believed to be the distance covered from new. A full account of the Arrow's history was published in The Classic Motor Cycle's May 2001 edition (photocopy available). Accompanying documentation also includes the original and continuation logbooks; an original Ariel Arrow Owner's Guide; and old/current V5C Registration Certificates.
