Jumper cables indicate an attempt to start it up obviously. After how many decades of bury in oblivion ..?

 

[pf1]

It moves freely because the front brake calipers have been removed. Still, if you want a silver Jota to restore then here it is. People do want them so it might get a second life.

You're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din.

 

[pf1]

Not brave just stupid.

 

[Laverdalothar]

Well - it is possible,








it is simply a question of time, labor and money...

 

[pf1]

There was a previous silver Jota on UK Ebay last year in a right old state. I was convinced it would go for spares but I met the buyer at Willersey last summer and he told me he was very happy to take the massive job on. There is still a demand at the right price

Anything’s possible w enough time and money, but I’m assuming the motor internals are equally rusted.

I dony think I have ever seen such high mirrors. Next step....ape hangers?

That spiel is the AI generated crap Ebay supplies for the lazy minded I think.

Doesn’t say much for any provenance

Always exciting with new projects, the mentioned "Jota" is in just as bad condition as the one I bought in 2013, I found it in a basement, and after a while of trying to persuade the seller to let it go I was allowed to buy it. After about 5 years it was back in original condition

AI didn’t pick up the left foot warmer. Heated grips are soooo last week

 

[Dellortoman]

Also features manual transmission. That must be quite unusual if it's worth a mention.
Probably has one of those rare steel frames as well.

 

[piranha-bro2]

That to me is a genuine barn find. It's all there, ready and waiting for anyone with the will and wallet to bring it back to its former glory. Seen far far worse.

Is a 'manual gearbox' a bit rare ... like 'hydraulic suspension'?
