This May 1955 registered Square Four comes with old and new registration documents from an infamous Ariel specialist who acquired the machine in 1977. The engine was fully rebuilt in 2004 and has only done approximately 300 miles since as the ageing owner found the motorcycle too powerful for him. The vendor states that: “This machine starts easily, the engine still needs running in at variable speeds and is a pleasure to ride”. It is MOTd and taxed until February 2011. Square Four values have been rising steadily in recent times and this one looks good value at the guide price suggested today.
