1955 Ariel KH 350

Highlights

  • Restored with accompanying parts receipts and a photographic record of the process
  • French registered with all documentation in the vendor's name
  • Stored in dry conditions from 2020 until recently recommissioned
  • Road tested following recommissioning approximately six months ago

The Appeal

The Ariel KH 350 is a well-regarded British single from the mid-1950s, valued for its robust overhead-valve engine and rewarding riding character. The KH offered a practical yet spirited ride and remains a popular machine among classic British motorcycle enthusiasts.
This 1955 example was restored by its previous owner, with the work supported by a collection of parts receipts and photographs documenting the machine's pre-restoration state. The current vendor acquired the bike, had it imported and French-registered, and for a time displayed it indoors before placing it in dry storage. It was recommissioned approximately six months ago and road tested, and is now offered for sale simply because the vendor has too many projects on the go.

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
