Edward Turner, devised the Square Four engine in 1928. The “Cammy” engine gained a reputation for overheating the rear cylinder heads, so in 1936 the engine was completely redesigned, emerging as the 1937 OHV 995cc model 4G. In 1953, the ‘four pipe’ 997cc Ariel Square Four MkII was released, with separate barrels, a re-designed cylinder head with four separate exhaust pipes from two cast-aluminium manifolds and a rocker-box combined with the inlet manifold. A redesigned frame provided clearance for the high-mounted, tall, car-type, SU carburettor.

On offer is a c.1958 Ariel Square Four 4G MkII. It has not moved for many years and the late vendor purchased it in approximately 1993. A very worthy project once completed and the fuel tank and front mudguard accompany the machine. It appears to be an original machine and it’s offered with an old-style V5.
