James were prolific bicycle and motorcycle manufacturers from 1897 to 1966. The company was taken over by Associated Motor Cycles in 1951 and combined with Francis-Barnett in 1957. In 1966 the company became one of the many British motorcycle companies forced out of business by Japanese competition. James produced such well-known machines as the 98cc Autocycle, 125cc Comet, Commodore, 225cc Colonel and Captain plus a variety of trials and scrambles bikes.

This little 1951 James Comet was purchased by the late vendor for his lightweight 2-stroke collection. Sadly, there is not much known about the James beyond it having had three owners since 1983. Some light recommissioning will be required before use. It comes complete with an old style V5.
