This newly restored WW2 James ML (Military Lightweight) is from contract, No. S7113 with deliveries commencing to the War Office during 1944 and retains an AAA stamped engine. The bike comes with a current V5C and is registered as a Historic Vehicle with a non-transferable registration number.
Used by both the British Airborne Division and Commando forces this ML retains its specified War Department modifications which enabled the ML to be stowed in a Horsa glider, including folding handlebars, canvas grips, original and very rare Lucas DU42 headlamp, with correct James ML light switch, folding footrests, short rear mudguard, and petrol cap with screw in seal.
The bike has been refurbished to its original WW2 finish and starts and runs very well. Since acquiring the bike we have replaced the control cables and purchased a new exhaust collector box and exhaust pipe. Wiring for the lighting is in place but we have not refurbished the lighting to working condition and it may require new lighting coils.
A short video of it running can be viewed on our website at toolboxlifestyle.com or on our Instagram page

We can arrange delivery in the UK and Europe- at the buyers’ expense but please do contact us for a quotation before bidding. Please note there is no VAT or other fees in addition to the purchase price (other than delivery costs)
