A little more detail....The frame is a copy of the ones Mo Haley built for BSA singles. Far as I know this is the only one with anything other than a BSA fitted. John was an Ariel nut from way back and this motor is pretty quick - probably as quick as a Goldie...
John rode it well too but it hasn't been seen out for quite some time. Typical of a lot of CAMS specials a few years back, they are still being raced with great enjoyment, handles well and was always pretty reliable.
