THE FAMOUS JAMES No. D1 500 c.c. O.H.V. TWIN MODEL
The "James" No. D1 500 c.c. O.H.V. De-Luxe Twin has been designed for those riders who desire a really fast yet comfortable and luxurious machine. We have no hesitation in recommending this model, which will adequately meet every demand which the most critical rider may require. The overhead rocker gear has received very special consideration, and although it is light it is exceedingly robust, and will stand up to long periods of hard riding without the engine losing its tune. For 1932 season improvements in specification have resulted in the production of a fully equipped luxury model with superlative finish and mechanical efficiency of the highest class. A James design and manufactured job throughout.
