• Laverda benefiting from recent work
• A 180 model with Slater's paperwork
• Current V5C and paperwork on file

The Laverda Jota is a Laverda 1000cc Italian motorcycle suggested by the importers Slater Bros. of Collington, near Bromyard, Herefordshire, England. Based on the existing 1973-1981 Laverda 3C model that made 85 hp @ 7,250rpm and reaching speeds of more than 130 mph, the new Jota made a big impression in 1976. The Laverda Jota model ran from 1976 through to 1982. The Jota is powered by a 981cc DOHC air cooled inline triple and had a dry weight of 234 kg.

Displaying a mileage showing c.47,000, but no documentation to confirm as the clocks were changed in 1990s, there is a recent letter from Richard Slater, confirming this is a numbers matching 1977 Jota imported by Slater's and registered as a Jota. Presenting in nice ‘original’ condition, still with high crown pistons and 4/C camshafts, with recent cosmetic and maintenance work; the frame and wheels have been powder coated, new tyres and chain, new Suzuki 750 switches (to replace tired erratic originals), a new horn, new clutch lever, cable and DAM easy pull, rebuilt clocks and a refurbished seat.

The vendor describes the paintwork as ‘very good’ with newly enamelled badges. Alloy cases and stainless mudguards polish up well. In addition, the specification includes a stainless collector box and silencers (chrome down), Fontana/FAC shocks, Moto Witt DMC/2 ignition, 150watt alternator, side and centre stand and stainless brake pipes. Accompanying the machine are lots of invoices for parts and work from Laverda Scozia, Motalia, Miura and Slater's, most recently the primary was rebuilt by Andy Bartlett. There are also 17 old MOT certificates and photocopies of old registration documents dating back to the Jota’s first registration.
