Between 1958 and 1964, the Ariel HT5 racked up 161 trial championship wins at both the UK and international levels. Finding original examples of the bike is no easy task, but even today there are companies that make replica frames. Throw in an Ariel 500cc engine and you can complete the rest – or you can just buy this one.
Ariel’s trials bike was an evolution of the 500cc Red Hunter, and it became well known after Sammy Miller had tremendous success with it. For more on this lovely bike, check out this personal page dedicated to the model. This replica was built in 2011 with a modified Paul Jackson frame. Many new parts were incorporated, like a custom stainless stell header, BTH magneto, belt drive, and a N.E.B. Engineering clutch. The bike has appeared in Classic Trials Magazine and the seller does get the chance to ride it a few times a year. Now it can be your turn.
