Jota re-listed on Iconic

[TeddyG]

This didn't reach reserve back in July and the seller re-listed it on Iconic:

1977 Laverda Jota 1000 – Iconic Motorbike Auctions

Charleston, South Carolina - An early example Jota 1000 that underwent a complete nut-and-bolt restoration by Laverda specialist Scott Potter.

Supposedly was originally black frame/silver bodywork/mag wheels, and Scott Potter claims it's a Slater Jota

From the Iconic post:

"He (Lance Weil) sold this machine, one of a batch of three, in Albuquerque where it remained until 2010. Its sister motorcycles, one higher numbered VIN, one lower, are part of the Laverda scene today.

If it is really one of the "three sisters" and has frame/engine number 5136 then how does this one have #5235?

Perhaps a typo on #5235 ?

Very nice bike,, I know the owner it was built for, very nice running bike, Has not been ridden much since completion, was built from a heavily raced Jota , it definitely needed a total rebuild, I actually wound up with the original tank off this bike, it now is on my 3C, I wonder what the reserve is ? See if it sells but I doubt it tough market,

When it didn't reach reserve in July it was re-listed on the "Buy It Now" section for $17K. Iconic caters more to sport bikes, so it remains to be seen if it sells this time around-
