Ariel's brave new venture with the Leader's ground breaking design ultimately went the way of many other radical concepts offered to a very conservative market. The first Ariel Leader rolled off the production line in August 1958, and seven years later, after 18,347 had been produced, the last one left the factory in June 1965. This Leader, first registered 29.8.64, was bought by the lady vendor's late brother in law in October 1992. An expired MoT certificate issued in July 1992 shows a mileage of 14,576. Today 14,689 miles are diplayed on the odometer, so only 113 miles have been covered in almost 28 years. Virtually nothing is known of its history or mechanical state. It is fitted with a very desirable Smiths 8 day clock, and is accompanied by a V5C. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition.
