1955 Ariel Square Four<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here we are pleased to offer a very nicely presented 1955 Ariel Square Four<\/p>\n\n\n\n


For riders and collectors who appreciate engineering innovation, the Ariel Square Four stands apart. It was originally engineered by Edward Turner in 1928, featuring a distinctive \u201csquare\u201d engine layout\u2014two parallel twin blocks paired together and connected via central gearing to form a compact four-cylinder unit. This design minimizes engine length while maintaining smooth power delivery and balanced operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by the later 997cc OHV four the layout reduced torsional vibration and allowed for a shorter crankshaft length compared to conventional inline-four engines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitted with the later plunger rear suspension and telescopic front forks, providing improved ride compliance over earlier girder designs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Square Four\u2019s compact multi-cylinder design was ahead of its time, offering a rare combination of smoothness and torque in a pre-war and post-war motorcycle<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This example is in exceptional condition and has been maintained to an unusually high standard while preserving originality.
A machine defined not just by its heritage\u2014but by the engineering principles that set it apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
