This 650cc Ariel Huntmaster is still on its original registration and was registered in February 1957. Its odometer shows 8047 miles and its last MoT expired in January 2008 after being tested the year before at an indicated 2525 miles. However, as an historic bike, the Ariel no longer requires annual testing. The vendor describes it as being in lovely condition with lots of new parts and excellent paintwork and seat. It is fitted with a rear carrier. The magneto has been overhauled and a digital voltage regulator fitted along with a new battery. As Ariel was owned by BSA at the time, the engine is essentially a BSA A10 650cc unit. 

The Ariel is described as running well, albeit not used much in the past eight months. It is accompanied by its V5C, green logbook, Ariel Club dating certificate, old MoTs, invoices, parts catalogue, maintenance manual, wiring diagram, list of recent work done, owner's guide and Haynes workshop manual. There's also some spares and a pair of mirrors.
