Thanks Mole. for the compliments!!
To my best of knowledge, it came in " Crimpson Red" & " Opaque copper dust"
Crimpson red had more blue shade, compared to our famous Brit Cars, Cherry blossom !!
Now comes a similar shade in Dupont, but mettalic though !!

Wish to paint my " Humber sports Bicycle" in that color, if not in a Brave ROBIN HOOD !!!

What interested me in the Ariel is the twin 'flute' shaped recesses on the tank, reminds me so of the ones on the Vauxhall bonnets:

Dereham Wedding Cars, Norfolk

Anyway, if its not going , here is a pic. of your truly just posing on what looks like (to me atleast) a similar Ariel that was with a local mechanic.

This bike was in the same colour as yours, later repainted in this colour when it was done up (to be sold.)

The bike was sold on the same day this photo was taken.

Lovely Bike !! Stanher
But this is some '52 model NH machine
note there is no nacelle type head lights ( it has the Clipper H/L, with alloy yoke a Speedo holder......as of pre war machines)
& it has the same pre '40 type Brake drums ( Deep drawn sheet metal hubs)
But even though it had all the goodness of a its younger brothers
PS: Have to say this: Even I said plenty of " NO" s, all that refers to say my bike was a different model to that one posted by Stanher, thanks for the pic, buddy !!

Cool, you captured my Salem friend Anand's Willys CJ5, Willys Station Wagon and his Jonga. If you remember my postings in 4x4 section this is the very same CJ5 he drove into the Kaveri river.
