1964 Ariel 199cc Arrow "200"
Registration no. JHR 466B
Frame no. T34589/H
Engine no. T34589-H

Ariel's smaller 200cc Arrow was introduced in order to qualify for lower road tax and cheaper insurance. It is by some distance the rarest of Leader/Arrow family: only 844 being built between April 1964 and August 1965. Compared to its more powerful sister, it had a smaller bore and lower gearing. This matching numbers example was first registered on 2nd August 1964 and bought by the lady vendor's late brother in law exactly thirty years later on 2nd August 1994. It bears a tax disc which expired at the end of April 2002, and displays a recorded mileage of 21,302, but virtually nothing is known of its history or mechanical state, other than the fact that the engine is seized. It is accompanied by a V5C. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition.
