I have seen 2 different Jota decals side panel decals, one with the J crossed like a T and the other with the J slanted but without a cross a la L .

Visually I prefer the slanted (Italic) and uncrossed version.

BUT

Which is correct,

 
ah, lost me
here is one version
with no cross on the J
is the only one I've seen, I think

I think it depends if it was a "factory Jota" (1980+) or the 3CL/E from Slaters - no?

So - I assume yours being a 1976 3CL/E (I assume), it should have the one Red's pic showed.

later ones btw. had the badge-type JOTA sign with the cross-top (up to 120? Jota, and I think even the RGA JOTA did use that badge).

HTH

attached is a larger picture of the Jota-decal of this bike... Looking at it being a 1200/1000 180? series 2 frame, this must be a late 1979 or 1980 bike, hence my comment in the first line. later ones had the badge with the T-shaped J just like the decal in this pic.

someone may have to find a pic of the advert "park the jota james" and take a look

i think the early ones did not have the J crossed at top and were thin letters

but i recall a pic of a sprint faired 120 from three cross with a thick lettered JOTA decal
without the crossed J
 
Okay Davo you called me out ! Ally the Anorak offers these from his photo collection. Apologies to the owners of these pics and I make no comment as to the accuracy of these. I think the key thing here is UK Slater bikes versus later Factory badged ones ?

My personal preference is for the last one I posted. Then again its just a badge...does it really matter ?

Pours lighter fluid on the anorak, smiles for a bit then desperately tries to stamp the inferno out before it torches the garage....

While Scrumpy is lying around leg in the air, have a look at Bike of The Month - December, a few examples of Jota side panel decals there.
Oh and while there you could always vote for one...........

Yes, it was the BOM photos that got me thinking. Then realised there were 2 different decals being offered for sale on the net, Motalia has the crossed J and Gianni the slanted uncrossed.

Also thought it would be a topic to keep the anorak wearers tossing in their sleep for weeks  :D

Just before Christmas, you've got all of them running around digging out old photo's and forgetting all about Christmas.
I'm sure Mastercard & Visa will be onto you for lack of sales.

I thought I saw three different side panel logos?
 
You, KL have taken bastardry to new levels  :D

Mind you, I did note that JLO's green "Jota" had no decal at all...
 
Then you can have any sidepanel badge you want as NO FACKER will see it!  :P
 
hi
my mates gold 1978 jota has original side panels slighly worn now but j not crossed and the jota logo was painted on or stenciled with paint not a transfere and hes had it from new.
