Description
1978 180 Jota. Slater verified with authentication letter as imported on 7th Sept 1978.
In my ownership I have spent a lot of money getting this bike up to top mechanical standards and I have receipts from GCS Motorcycles and Ray Petty Mechanica for around £10k.
Full engine rebuild with pistons, crank (done by Keith Nairn), chains, rebore, etc.
Wheels repainted and fitted with new Avon tyres.
Brake overhaul with new front discs and caliper rebuild.
Carb rebuild, clean and balance.
Overhauled starter motor.
Electrics overhaul, all wiring checked.
…and many, many other bits and pieces.
Sasche Ignition and lightened clutch.
It now runs and rides beautifully without missing a beat. Starts easily and idles. Very quick!!! It is a very reluctant sale but i have other bikes (and a young baby) and i'm just not using it enough. Very beautiful bike which gets attention everywhere.
Some photos show the dual seat which was refurbished by El Dorado in Australia but currently fitted with an original hump seat in great condition. Dual seat will be sold separately.
Pricing it to sell in the current market. I’ve owned this for 4 years. Originally purchased from Pietro at Motori Di Marino. Spent as a keeper bike but alas!
