Here's a self-confident advertisement from Sulzbacher, at that time the Austrian importer.
On top it says:
Due to a lack of events we unfortunately couldn't win more often.
And after a list of 1st and 2nd places, it says:
To be continued - Laverda 1000 - the production race bike. Order now - safe delivery.

Nice - Mirage presented in the square at Marostica

Yes , I think Slaters attended armed with a pair of Jota silencers to fit to the 1200TI , which was named the Mirage .
