1954 Ariel Y13 Special 750cc at Andy Tiernans

[@bsacrazy]

It will no doubt be bought for the engine

[@philmuskett265]

I reckon that's spectacular.

Beauty wish BSA had carried on with their V twins after the 30's

[@WileyFox01]

A bitster for £20k, someone has more money than sense - each to their own.

[@grateberk6435]

Its a nice bitsa, but really....

[@neilfoddering921]

Cheap at the price. You can pay a hundred thousand pounds for that well-known bitza, the Brough Superior 680.

[@glengerdes4158]

Was that originally a 650 twin frame?

[@alanoliver535]

Abits and pieces good luck with the price,may be just the engine ?

[@neilfoddering921]

The nacelle looks like Triumph rather than Ariel. Perhaps a Triumph one was used because the Ariel one would have been too small to accommodate the four instruments and a warning light.

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

Good luck...

[@colinmould2219]

looks a fine job, but you buy two harleys for that money.

[@anythingoldmechanical]

Or a concourse condition 500 Goldie, and still have lots change to insure it, and buy lots of autosol! 😅😅

[@neilfoddering921]

I’d happily take the two Harleys, sell them, and buy this machine. In my opinion, it’s far more interesting, looks beautifully constructed, and wasn’t designed as a posing machine for those in need of an ego boost.

[@adrianiles6019]

Why doesn't somebody have those pot holes filled Peter's arse must be killing him 😂

[@anythingoldmechanical]

Good engineering, but looks a mismatch, with such an old engine with open valvegear in a swinging arm frame.. And the modern colour? Chip that and you could never touch it up. But, I guess someone will love it.

[@teterouge1472]

Hmm?..fake... Colour... Engine.... Fake?....
