How About an Ariel Car?

Interesting. Don't know a thing about the car, but that engine is an engineering marvel. I rode a square four once and it was the smoothest motorcycle engine I've ever ran. I loved the bike, but at the time I couldn't afford it. Two crank shafts running in opposite directions. Very unique.
 
If I had too much money, that would be an interesting thing to own. Those square four engines are a thing of beauty.
It's sort of neat, but as it stands, I think it's overpriced.
(I'm beginnnng to think a lot of these old "specials" are overpriced).

You may already know this:
The Ariel name has been recycled into a small modern car company.
Very neat little cars intended for (mostly) track use(see picture below). We have one that comes to our NASA track days at Pocono raceway.

~HERE~ is a video of a modern day Ariel on Top Gear.
