Hi there,I was reading my book on "James" motorcycles,and could find nothing on a 75cc,however,there was a 98cc.It  was built in 1938 with a villiers engine,it was called the Autocycle.Basically a motorised bicycle.Hope this helps a little.

 There is a James website that has all the info and model specs you want. I can't remember the exact details but I think its www.simplywizard.co.uk (James used "simply wizard" as a catchphrase in their ads).
A quick Google search  will give you the exact details.
You'll never have to ask a James question again as this site has it all.
