Like so many of the once prolific and now long-gone British motorcycle manufacturers, James started out making bicycles, producing their first motorcycle in 1902. During the 1930s, the Birmingham-based firm were manufacturing 4-stroke singles and large capacity v-twins, even a 499cc Rudge-engined bike. By 1937, however, all their engines were sourced from Villiers. Post-WW2, James production was all 2-stroke powered, the most notable models of that era being the 250cc Villiers single pot Commodore and its 250cc twin-cylinder engined successor, the Superswift. A small utility motorcycle of the 1950s and early 1960s, the James Cadet is typical of many thousands of similar machines built by British manufacturers. Gobbled up by AMC in 1963, James production ceased for good when the group collapsed just three years later.

This little James Cadet 125 has previously been restored to a high standard. With very little use since it has been completed, it was purchased by the vendor for a private collection from Europe in 2017. Nova paperwork is on file. This machine will need to be UK registered by any new owner.
