Burman Ariel rigid Prewar CP BD 4 speed gearbox
This 4-speed Burman / Ariel gearbox is numbered “I CPBD 11601”. From my research, this suggests that the gearbox is for Ariel rigid frame bikes such as the 600cc OHV Square Four and the 350cc models, NH, NG, W/NG. The design elements and the gearbox number also suggest that this is a prewar gearbox, dating from 1936.
Surprisingly, it’s in decent condition. The splines are good and the casings don’t appear to have any cracks. Even the mounts remain intact. I have taken the outer cover off. It’s a bit grubby with oil and grease but a glance at the parts suggests that they have been well greased over the years. I think the prewar CP’s were lubricated with LM grease.
It has not been tested in a bike, so it’s sold as a gearbox needing a check-over.
Viewing: Please come and check it over before you buy. It is at PE28, near St Ives in Cambridgeshire.
Shipping: I usually ship to most destinations. If you don’t see a price, please ask. Thanks. International shipping available.
Collection: If you don’t want it shipped, I have plenty of space. If you can’t collect for a while, it’s not a problem. However, I will need to be paid very soon after the sale. Thanks.
Payment: Good old fashioned money on collection is preferred. I can accept payment through PayPal or by bank transfer as well.
Import Taxes: (I need to mention this as I had someone buy something from me and they were based in Europe. They thought I should list the item including all taxes and shipping. Considering import duties vary enormously, this is impractical even if it was possible). Please note that IMPORT DUTIES are not something I can control. If you are buying from outside the UK, there is a chance that you will have to pay import taxes. Import taxes vary from country to country. If there are charges to pay, it is the buyer’s responsibility to research the cost and pay the duties. The price that you see on my advert is for the item and not the item plus whatever taxes might be due..
However, if you decide to pay me by some other way (bank transfer for example), I can lower the import tax that you are likely to pay.
