The James Engineering Co, were a Birmingham based company, having produced bicycles, and the progressed onto motorcycles of very high quality, their slogan being 'The Famous James'. By the mid 20s they were very prominent in off road events of all types and their road machines reflected their development and durability. One of their sporting machines was the very sporty 'Model 11A', which was a lightweight, side-valve 350 machine.
This little James is an ideal Banbury Run machine, which was owned by the mark specialist at the time Don Mitchell in 1973. He then restored NU 6932 to a high standard and owned it for 38 years, it is complete with a full, acetylene lighting set, it starts with ease and runs with a lovely vintage exhaust note, advised by the owner it pulls very well, it is complete with a V5, an RF. 60, and other papers including copy manuals, and will be ready for next summer's road events after the normal safety checks.
