1964 James Captain, 199cc. Registration number EGF 189B. Frame number FL20 2835. V20T 8725.
Sold with the V5C, V5, instruction book.
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.
EGF was owned by John Wright in London in 1983, then Gregory Woodhouse in 1988. Our vendor bought it in 2022 and has rarely used it. It appears to be in good order and an older restoration that has mellowed well.
