My brother did a tour of the factory last year so I knew there was one on the way.  I had rather hoped it would be an updated replica of a Square 4 but that liiks like a V engine.  I expect it'll be a bit pricey so that only rich types like TTR could afford one.biggrin  Maybe they will make a Leader or Arrow lookalike.  We could do with more 2 strokes.

It ought really to be a descendant of Ariel's last bike.

That's cruel Martyn after all it was BSA that had churned out the Dandy & Beagle; they couldn't face another disaster so destroyed Ariel instead!!!

Still the single side front end was way ahead of its time...

Nice scaffolding on the new bike.

The old 3 wheeler were death traps, not the scuff marks where that one has been over, gives a whole new meaning to high siding.

Ariel had a display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including Atoms, an oldie and two different specs of the Ace. You can order the specification you want, single seat unit, just a seat, dual seat, tele forks or girder. The single seat unit tele fork model looked good.
