• Approximately around 300 were produced and made famous in America by the all-time great Rock n Roll Star Buddy Holly, who bought a Cyclone in 1959
• Fitted with the late Hunmaster engine with big bearing crank and high compression pistons for a little more performance, as were all these export models
• The original engine, gearbox, and frame numbers are still present, verified by the Ariel Owners Club document dating certificate
• The original English registration number was reclaimed after many years
• Also present is a green card logbook and a current V5, both stating the model to be 'Export Sport.'
• A cosmetic restoration was carried out some years ago, and also the magneto and dynamo were rebuilt by Tony Cooper, plus a new reg box fitted
