Actually the ad does mention "Ariel" as the builder or brand. That's in one of the little fill-in-the-blank boxes that I delete before posting my CL hilarity... shoulda added that in the text.
I took the description of the stays -- Rey. -- as Reynolds. And what's the "steering column," apparently crafted from Tange Champion #1 ?

...Not in the market for this 'un, btw. Just was baffled by the ad, thought it deserved a spot here.
