1959 James Cadet, 147cc. Registration number 756 XVS (non transferrable). Frame number BL15 6013. Engine number 295B 34357.
James was taken over by Associated Motor Cycles (AMC) in 1951. AMC had also owned Francis Barnett since 1947 and they merged the production of both companies in 1957, after which quite a lot of ‘badge engineering’ went on (similar to the path AMC chose for AJS and Matchless during the same period). However some separate models were produced under both the James and FB banners until the end of production, usually dressed out in the ‘standard’ company colours – maroon for James and dark green for FB.
This original and unrestored machine has recently been reregistered with DVLA and comes with a receipt for a carb overhaul from Villiers Services in June 2021.
In need of further recommissioning and safety checks it will make an interesting addition to any collection.
Sold with the V5C, dating certificate and aforementioned receipt.
