c.1950/52 James Captain Project. Registration number MJF 820 (not recorded with DVLA). Frame M3674. Engine number 075B 53201 E.
James began concentrating on the manufacture of two-stroke lightweights in the 1930s and continued the policy after WW2. Villiers engines were used at first, though from 1957 many models used parent-company AMC's own power units. The 'Captain' name was first adopted for the (nominally) 200cc model for 1950. Both the Captain and the 125cc Cadet featured the newly developed rubber-suspended telescopic front fork, while plunger rear suspension was available on deluxe versions.
This example is a frame believed to be a Captain with a 197 cc Villiers engine that has been rebuilt but has no oil in it.
There is no paperwork with this lot.
