JAMES

- Www.castlechro­me.co.uk

The other AMC two-stroke builder, probably most well-known for the Cadet and Captain commuters, which at the time were seen as a trifle dull. Once again, the better buys are those that are powered by Villiers rather than Piatti-designed AMC engines, and the very late (1966) Superswift twin is probably the one to find. Some machines were built with the Villiers 4T unit, which is a little less slow.

The James Scooter (which was sold as the Matchless Papoose in the US!) is the one to avoid - unless you truly are a collector of lost causes. However, a lot of low-cost, high-amusement riding can be had from any of the James range, and they can't depreciate much. Like most British two-strokers, they have a dedicated band of expert fans.
