Any knowledge on here

Certain countries received the proper Jota, I think Australia and South Africa were two of them. Other countries got the name and the colour scheme but not the go faster parts, most of Europe for instance. It doesn't actually matter where it came from if it has the cams and pistons unless you think a bit of paper from Slaters is worth thousands of pounds. I don't use facebook so I haven't seen the bike itself.

Agree with Hooksey - go for it. If you've always wanted one then once you're winding it on on some backroad or pulling into a cafe somewhere, you won't even have the word 'Jota' in your head. I like that you want a 'rider' and not a museum piece.

My new '78-79 Jota was was nowhere as smooth as ones I have ridden since. Both of those had cranks done by Red.

Of course, that is a given. Red is the man.
