A 1956 Ariel NH 350cc Red Hunter motorcycle as previously owned and restored by John 'Mooneyes' CooperRegistration No. UOB105Chassis No. PR3099Engine No. MA1251Colour: Red/maroonOdometer 00070The Ariel Red Hunter was the name used for a range of Ariel single-cylinder and twin-cylinder motorcycles. They were designed by the firm's Chief Designer, Val Page, in 1932, around an overhead-valve single-cylinder engine he developed six years earlier. Originally a "sports" version of the Ariel 500, 250 and 350cc versions were developed and became popular with grass track and trials riders. From 1948, the 500cc twin-cylinder Ariels were produced in De Luxe (KG) and Red Hunter (KH) models. All Red Hunters had a distinctive dark red petrol and oil tanks which were painted in the former Bournbrook cinema opposite the main Ariel factory in Dawlish Road. The engines were all run for two hours on a test bench to maintain Ariel's record of reliability and quality control.The Red Hunter was a success and formed the backbone of the company, and made Ariel able to purchase Triumph. On the 500cc, acceleration from 0 to 60 mph could be achieved in 10.9 seconds, while stopping from 25 mph could be made under 24 feet.Edward Turner developed the design further with added chrome and it became a popular touring road bike. Handling was improved by the addition of rear suspension and telescopic forks and it gained an alloy cylinder head from the 1950s.Champion Sammy Miller had great success with a 500cc Red Hunter from 1955.This version was fully restored and previously owned by 1970s road racing star John "Mooneyes" Cooper, undergoing a full nut & bolt restoration. At significant expense Cooper originally purchased the machine from the family of the original owner, since new, in 1956. The bike was acquired by our vendor approximately three years ago and is in good running order, and is sold with V5 and a quantity of photographs showing full restoration.Length 213cm.
