Registration No: 870 UYN Frame No: PS197 MOT: ExemptNicely presented Mk2, four-pipe Ariel Square FourLater alloy head 1000cc version of Edward Turner's classic designRestored in 2015 to a good standard with numerous receiptsRecently recommissioned, the vendor reports it 'starts well and is ready to ride'It comes complete with a current V5CLike a lot of British motorcycle companies, Ariel began producing bicycles in the late 1800s, eventually progressing onto motorcycles in 1902. After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers in the early part of the century, in the early 1930s Jack Sangster bought Ariel from the receivers at a bargain price. The company was renamed Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, and promptly resumed production in a new factory in Selly Oak Birmingham and one of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner. In the days of predominately single-cylinder engines a square four layout was very advanced and the bike stayed in production until the late 1950s. This 1954 Square Four is the later Mk2 1000cc version, easily identified by its four separate exhaust pipes and alloy head to help to cool the rear cylinders. Restored to a good standard in 2015, it has recently been recommissioned and the vendor reports 'it starts easily, runs well, and is ready to ride'. Included in the sale is a file with numerous receipts accumulated during the restoration process. Supplied with a current V5C.

Registration No: GGF 409 Frame No: 1155 MOT: ExemptRare Sunbeam 'high cam' restored to a good standardJust a handful known to have survived on the Sunbeam RegisterMatchless-style forks and brake with check springs, Burman gearbox, and high-level exhaust pipeRunning well and used sparingly by the current ownerV5C on file with a host of paperwork and a 1939 spares bookAll correct numbersAMC bought the Sunbeam business in 1937 as a well-established motorcycle manufacturer. Production moved from Wolverhampton to Plumstead. There was so much stock available that it was enough to sustain production in London for more than a year. At the end of 1938 a new line of OHV machines was launched, ranging from a 250cc to a 600cc. The new engine design was of the high camshaft type with the cylinder barrel sunk deep into the large crankcase. It has a large timing cover with a wonderful “Sunbeam” script which contains the chain that drives the magdyno and is tensioned by a Weller tensioner. The brakes were improved, notably to an 8" drum with improved stopping. The models were offered in standard guise and in Sports (S) and Competition (T) form. The B25S had Sports mudguards, upswept exhaust pipe, and a specially tuned engine with a high-compression piston and polished cylinder head and ports. The C24S was the last pre-war Sunbeam design. This wartime 1940 Sunbeam C24S was purchased by the vendor's father-in-law way back in the early 1970s. Due to commitments, the Sunbeam was left untouched until it was left to the son-in-law, as he was seen as a worthy candidate for the restoration of the C24S and saving it from the scrap man in 1999. The current vendor finally set about the restoration of this very rare model at the start of 2000, with only a handful known to the Sunbeam Register. Completely stripped down to the frame, components were thoroughly checked, cleaned and replaced where necessary. The restoration took several years and attention to the correctness was paramount for this machine, which included a trip to Scotland from the vendor's house of some 500 plus miles. Since the restoration of the Sunbeam, until recently, the vendor had taken it to many shows and events. The restoration has held up, it presents very well and is a good example of the model. It comes complete with a V5C, old photos of when it was found and restored, handbook and parts books, copies from Bruce Main Smith and many old tax discs dating back to 1947.
