When the AMC empire folded circa 1966, what became of the James factory ?
The AMC empire included names like Francis Barnett and James.
FB of Coventry had been moved in with James of Greet (suburb of Birmingham) circa 1961 ? and they became badge engineered twins.
What became of the Francis Barnett factory ?
When the AMC empire folded circa 1966, what became of the James factory ?
It contained many automatic machine tools lathes etc that produced nuts bolts small fittings for the AMC range, (inc Nortons ?)
Where the machines moved to NV in the old Villiers factory in Wolverhampton, or did Villiers already have such machines, so they were sold off.
As was the factory ?
Also, just curious, were the Jubilee Navigator and Electra assembled in Greet, or did they just produce components for assembly in Plumstead.
- The smaller lightweight Norton engines were basically slotted into James(like) frames and cycleparts.
A very old pic of the Greet factory - may be more bicycle factory ?
Anyone been there lately, or know what happened to it ?
History seems to be rather silent on this subject...
