1961 Ariel Golden Arrow Super Sports (Replica)
Registration Number: RPR 313
Frame Number: T22932T
- Restored example
- Only 4 owners from new.
The Ariel Arrow, launched in 1958, was the sports derivative of the Ariel Leader. This was a 17 year old’s dream bike; sleek, agile, fast and with sporting looks. The Arrow featured an all new 247cc engine generating 20bhp, through a 4 speed unitary gearbox.
The Arrow was revised for 1961, gaining squish-band, centre plug high compression heads. In his 1964 ‘Motor Cycle‘ road test Bob Currie reported good performance, with a top speed of 74mph and a good cruising speed of 60mph. Early models were in blue and gold, later models, in the more common ivory and gold.
This example, with T-suffix engine and frame numbers, has been restored and is offered in excellent condition. This, a standard Arrow painted in Golden Arrow colours, is nevertheless a highly desirable bike.
With genuine Golden Arrows now exceeding £5,000 in price, RPR 313 offers good value in the current market.
Interested parties should note, the bike has been run for approximately 10 months, so may need light commissioning.
