Part of 5/3/2025 Spring Collector Motor Series Auction (live auction by Henderson Auctions)

Status: Sold

1962 Ariel Arrow – Two-Stroke British Classic | From Long-Term Collection This is a charming and increasingly rare 1962 Ariel Arrow, a lightweight two-stroke motorcycle that blends mid-century British design with practical engineering. Known for its distinctive monocoque frame and smooth, efficient power delivery, the Ariel Arrow was a standout in its day—and remains a favorite among collectors of postwar British motorcycles. Key Highlights: Stored in a Large Private Collection – This example has been preserved in a long-term collection, presenting as a solid and complete bike ideal for display, light recommissioning, or full restoration. Villiers-Based 247cc Two-Stroke Twin – The Arrow featured a reliable and spirited two-stroke engine paired with a 4-speed transmission, making it a lightweight and nimble urban or country ride. Innovative Design – Known for its pressed-steel monocoque frame, leading-link front suspension, and enclosed rear swingarm—all contributing to a smooth, composed ride with distinctive styling. Period-Correct Details – Includes original-style enclosed bodywork, finned headlight nacelle, and dual seats—retaining much of its factory aesthetic. Not Currently Running – As it has been in static storage for years, it will require typical recommissioning (fuel, battery, fluids, etc.) prior to road use. This 1962 Ariel Arrow represents a great opportunity for British bike enthusiasts to acquire a classic that’s both historically significant and visually unique. Whether destined for the show circuit or restored to hit the road again, this Arrow is a rare bird worth catching. Engine: T26965G Bill of Sale Only.
