Hi John
Yep, that's me! I imported this Arola from France after swapping it for a very nice (!) BSA Ariel 3. The guy who had it was Franck Meneret, a well-known motorcycle journalist whom I met at the Sars Poteries cyclemotor run several years ago and spotted the Arola in a photo of his collection. His son still has the BSA but I sold the Arola to make way for other projects and regretted it almost immediately.
It looks like it's generating lots of interest and will probably go beyond my budget - unless, of course, Fabian (the current owner) is interested in a p/x deal on my Ligier...
