282 pages and more than 180 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the final 7th Edition (October 1965) Ariel Leader and Arrow factory workshop manual plus the March 1961 factory illustrated parts list (TCP/1361) for both models.
Introduced in July 1958, the fully enclosed 250cc two-stroke twin Ariel Leader was the first British motorcycle to have flashing turn signals available as an option. In 1960, it was joined by the Arrow, a sportier version that was based on the same mechanical design but dispensed with most of the enclosure of the Leader. 1961 saw the introduction of the 'Super Sports' or 'Golden' Arrow The final Arrow model was the 200cc Arrow (1964) which benefited from lower UK insurance premiums. Production of the original 'standard' Arrow ended in 1964 and the remaining models continued on until August 1965 (as 1966 models) at which time Ariel made the decision to halt production.
VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years.
