Not seen one with a front spoiler before, but at least it's an improvement on their other death traps! Not sure about the 'rarer than a Peel' statement though!

More of a 'Would you feel a Sulky Charlady for driving one of these' then? Perhaps not.

A very, very rare 3 wheeler, as rare as a ‘Peel’!

Er hmm,  rare does not equal desirable. 

Many will compare their spoils to a Peel.  Good luck to 'em...    Wonder what is at a bargain price today that may go stratospheric under our noses?..     

Place ya bets please..

Ariel 3? mind you that's a bike.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head young Perry, old moped values have doubled in just the last twelve months, talking of Ariel 3's, I was riding behind one three weeks ago on the Framlingham run and the rider was throwing the thing into corners like a speedway rider! Mind you it had been converted to Honda C50 power with a hand gear shift! I was thinking he is going to come off the thing in a minute but no. Of equal interest was Carl Squirrel who was riding a Honda PC50 moped complete with grass track style sidecar chassis, also throwing it around like a maniac!
