1967 James Captain 200cc Reg. no. KUX 10F Frame no. HL203010 Engine no. V20T9253 James began
Reg. no. KUX 10F
Frame no. HL203010
Engine no. V20T9253
James began concentrating on the manufacture of two-stroke lightweights in the 1930s and continued the policy after WWII. In 1951 the company became part of the Associated Motor Cycles group, joining Francis-Barnett, and from then on the two marques' model ranges became ever more similar until the transfer of Francis-Barnett production to the James factory in 1962 ushered in an era of unashamed 'badge engineering'. Like Francis-Barnett, James used Villiers engines 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. This example was last used in May 2006 and it has been dry stored ever since. Sold in unrestored original condition, we are told that it is running well and it comes with a V5c.
