THE FAMOUS JAMES No. C8 247 c.c. SUPER-SPORTS DE-LUXE TWO-STROKE

The " James " Model C8 247 c.c. Two-Stroke Machine is the largest and most luxurious of the Famous " James " Lightweight range. The Engine is capable of giving a good average speed with a large reserve of power for hill climbing, while the Machine cannot be tired by continuous heavy running, and in addition it will keep its tune over an indefinite period. The specification is comprehensive and all details and equipment are of the highest grade. We particularly call attention to the specification and general finish of this Machine, which in every way conforms to the high standard of "James " practice. The general ensemble of the Machine is pleasing and with the Patented construction of Frame we can recommend the Machine for those riders who prefer a Two-Stroke Engine, with every confidence.
