Project 180 Jota

[JotaPete]

I have a 1981 Jota 180 that's been sitting in a damp garage for 30 years. Was running when parked up. Has none standard exhaust and the rear shocks got lost by the PO when I sent them off years ago to be rebuilt. Needs alternator/ECI cover other than that complete. Would make a good restoration project. Is there a market for something like this. I am in my 60s and have too many projects that have been sitting around for decades. I bought is secondhand when it was 18 months old. It has had new valve seats installed as I was forever shiming it. This was a known fault at the time. Phil Tod also skimmed the head.

Definitely a market, even if prices have softened. Photos would help potential buyers to assess your bike. Sounds like it may be 1980 production if it has the dreaded soft head syndrome. What engine number?
