Had one of these in 1967 for two years,it was a 1962 model Golden Arrow S S with a Avon sports fairing, never let me down, Marmite bike ,yes, but i loved it and only paid £40 for it, alot more now,.
I had four ariel 2 strokes including a 67 Golden arrow ( RMX 868F where are you?) and loved them. I was young and stupid and gave them a hard time but they kept on ticking. Loved the way you could rebuild the engine while still in the frame.
A lovely bike however I pondered if I should buy one when they came out but decided against a pressed steel frame and bought a Reynolds tubed frame Norman B4 Sports, the Arrow engine however was very tuneable as in " Little Nero"
I had one last year 2022 what a Mistake. A nightmare to work on just try taking of the Dummy Tank off 😱then try and get the rectifier off 😱and the Coils plug leads and wires taking the front wheel out need a special tool!! Rear wheel to 😱fuel tank are just as bad 😱. The only good thing is the engine. But pinch the i dear from Germany 🇩🇪 Adla MB 250. Have SOLD it now so glad 😀 can honestly say it’s the worst bike I have ever worked on.
That's one lovely example of an iconic motorcycle. A credit to you and your dad.
This is a beauty! First bike I had on the road. That was in 1969. Still riding a 1200 Bandit at 70 years old.
I had one in 1967 , great road holding on bends and cornering , mine had a nice note out of it as well , yours is really nice .😊

It should have ball end leavers.
is this bike broken? is it not running?
