Laverda JOTA 1977 WITH EXTRAORDINARILY COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY!

UNEXPECTEDLY AVAILABLE!
A PREVIOUS OWNER OF THIS BIKE FROM 10 YEARS AGO WAS DELIGHTED TO RE-PURCHASE IT A FEW WEEKS AGO. A DEPOSIT WAS PAID WITH THE SALE TO BE FINALISED IN MAY WHEN THE FUNDS WERE TO HAND. SADLY THIS WAS NOT TO BE AS HE HAS NOW BEEN TOLD HE IS BEING MADE REDUNDANT AND HE THEREFORE CANNOT PROCEED. (HE HAS KINDLY OFFERED TO VERIFY THIS TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE BIKE - JUST ASK ME FOR HIS CONTACT DETAILS).

SO HERE IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A GENUINE MATCHING NUMBERS LAVERDA JOTA. WITH THE MOST EXTRAORDINARILY COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY.

SUPPLIED BY SLATER BROS TO THE SUPERBIKE CENTRE BIRMINGHAM. IT WAS REGISTERED ON 1ST AUGUST 1977 TO ITS FIRST OWNER. A MR J. BROCKMAN OF BUXTON. HE WAS TO KEEP THE BIKE FOR 23 YEARS WITH THE HISTORY BEING DOCUMENTED ON SPREADSHEETS COVERING THE MOST DETAILED HISTORY OF THE BIKE. BACKED UP BY COPIOUS RECEIPTS DATING BACK TO 1980.
SUBSEQUENT OWNERS HAVE MAINTAINED THE HISTORY FILE WHICH MUST BE THE MOST DETAILED YOU COULD POSSIBLY FIND ON A 37 YEAR OLD MOTORCYCLE! IT RETAINS THE CORRECT COLOUR SCHEME FOR 1977 JOTA'S OF SILVER WITH BLACK FRAME.

IT HAS A NEW MOT CERTIFICATE WITH NO ADVISORIES BUT MUCH ADMIRATION FROM ALL AT THE MOT STATION! MILEAGE READING IS 59. 79. AT 47K MILES THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS CONVERTED TO UNLEADED BY MOTODD. CROYDON WITH NEW VALVE SEATS. PHOSPHOR BRONZE VALVE GUIDES. NEW VALVE SPRINGS AND INLET SEALS.
CYLINDERS WERE HONED AND NEW (STD) PISTON RINGS FITTED.

IT HAS BOYER TODD ELECTRONIC IGNITION. STAINLESS BRAIDED BRAKE HOSES AND STAINLESS NUTS AND BOLTS THROUGHOUT (HOWEVER THE NEW OWNER MAY WELL WISH TO CHANGE / PAINT THE COLOURED ANODISED FITTINGS ON THE BRAKE HOSES. WHICH DO NOT LOOK RIGHT!).

I HAVE HAD HER FOR 2 YEARS BUT AM DOWNSIZING TO AN SF2. I HAD 3C'S IN THE 1970'S AND RODE AROUND EUROPE WITH GIRLFRIEND & CAMPING GEAR. I JUST COULDN'T RESIST THIS BIKE WITH ITS FANTASTIC PROVENANCE. HOWEVER REALISTICALLY AT MY AGE. NOW IT IS JUST TOO BIG FOR ME TO HANDLE. IT IS TIME FOR HER TO GO TO SOMEONE WHO CAN USE AND ENJOY HER RATHER THAN ME POLISHING IN THE GARAGE AND REMINISCING!

THE BIKE LOOKS. RIDES AND SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL. YOU CAN VIEW A SHORT YOUTUBE VIDEO BY FOLLOWING THE LINK BELOW.
