Collectible Motorcycles - 1958 Ariel Square Four

Cover: It is ironic that this month's Ariel Square Four cover bike was designed by someone who is more famous for Triumphs than Ariels. His name is Edward Turner. Before he worked at Triumph, Turner designed the Square Four concept and made the rounds in England trying to find a company to produce it. He convinced the Ariel company to do so and he was hired in 1929. Turner went on to do big things at Triumph and his Ariel Square Four was on the market until 1959.
