Description

Ariel Red Hunter | 1957

Highlights:

– 350 cc single-cylinder engine
– 3,000 miles
– Fully restored to original condition
– Long-term single ownership, retained until recently
– Accompanied by spares, books and manuals

The seller offers for sale this 1957 Ariel Red Hunter, powered by a 350 cc single-cylinder engine. The motorcycle shows 3,000 miles and has been fully restored to original condition, remaining in regular use until last year when the owner decided to retire. It is offered together with a collection of spares, books and manuals, making it a well-rounded and usable example for an enthusiast of classic British machines.

Ariel was one of the most respected names in the British motorcycle industry, and the Red Hunter became the company’s celebrated sporting single. Produced over several decades, the Red Hunter earned a strong reputation for its lively performance, robust engineering and handsome traditional styling, and it remains a firm favourite among collectors of vintage and classic British motorcycles. The 350 cc single-cylinder version offered an appealing balance of spirited character and manageable, everyday usability.

This example combines that classic appeal with a full restoration to original specification and long-term single ownership, and it presents in good condition throughout. With its accompanying spares and literature, it represents an attractive opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of British motorcycling heritage.
