I agree with all Alan's comments but I think that the 1942 James had 26x1.75x2 tyres which aren't such a problem to find.
2.25 x 21" tyres are made out of solid unobtanium.
Check the tyre size and if they're 26" ones, you can relax a little.

Hello Gordon,
There are several clubs who can help with information: the Vintage Motor Cycle Club, British Two Stroke Club, National Autocycle, and Cyclemotor Club, East Anglian Autocycle, and Cyclemotor Club, and I believe there is a James register, but my personal advice is to get yourself a new set of tyres before you start spending money on the bike. I believe lack of suitable tyres for these machines may well be a problem in the future for those of us with Auto Cycles. . Tony Etheridge 01923 231699 sometimes has them, and Bitzforbikes.co. uk might be able to help.
Hi All, My name is Gordon I live in Plymouth and have been into motorcycle since 1947. I've just bought a 1942 James Autocycle which is a new type for me. I'm looking for any one with a similar machine as I intend a bare metal restoration. Any help in sourcing parts, tyres, literature etc. will be most welcome.
