1951 James Comet, 98cc. Registration number MVS 773 (on transferrable), Frame number M 14765 F. Engine number 797 12479 (see text).
James' first post-war models were the ML, a 122cc Villiers-engined machine derived from a successful military design, and an autocycle. The next introduction - in 1948 - was the Comet, again Villiers-powered but this time using the 98cc 1F unit, which was housed in a simple loop-type rigid frame fitted with single-tube girder front fork. Standard (direct lighting) and de luxe (battery) models were offered.
MVS has been subject to a restoration and has now nicely mellowed. Unused since its acquisition our vendor has decided sell his collection due to his advancing years, it should only require gentle recommissioning. Please note that the V5C states the engine number to be 797 13830.
