BSA Ariel 3 - Brand New engine for sale.
« on: October 09, 2011, 07:05:37 PM »
Not exactly a microcar, but I know there are some RUMCar forum users who's interests include scooters and trikes. I am selling this on behalf of my grandad, its brand new, never been run and stored for 40 years in his loft.

It will be a good buy for someone and the reserve is a reasonable/sensible sum too .Grandad bought it with the intention of using it on a project, which never transpired so it has been sat in its box gathering dust for 40 years. Shame he couldn't conjour up a few Sachs 191cc two strokes in brand new condition!!

Pride and Clark sold then through Exchange and Mart for as low as £2.99 a throw I believe. Yet, indeed, a well stored boxed one must now demand a sensible price.
