Description
James Captain197cc (a 1959 model first registered 3 Oct 58). A complete and very original machine with correct tinware. Dry stored for over 40 years. Previous owner obtained an MOT certificate to prove roadworthiness before selling it to me in 2010. Stored unused since then. V5C is in my name. Tax disc shows last on the road in 1977. This is substantiated by the original buff log book which shows 6 owners from 1958 to 1977. Indicated mileage of 27,865 could be correct. Engine turns freely. Maroon paintwork and chrome plating are in good condition. Sale includes a few new and second hand spares, toolkit, an original owners hand book, a photocopy spares list, and some magazine cuttings. A rare opportunity to buy an original low mileage unmolested classic motor cycle. Frame serial number BK7-1967. Villiers 10E engine serial number 652 B 4536. In view of the long storage and lack of use, the machine is sold as requiring restoration and without any guarantee. Buyer to collect from Lincoln or arrange own collection. Cash on collection preferred. Payment by cheque would require clearance before release of the motor cycle. Please email me with any questions.
