And I agree with you Clem. It is like a physical encyclopaedia. Otherwise it can be called a collection.
So who is going to set them straight?

Why does the Barber Museum list a 1973 Jota?

I just sent Brian Slark, the museum's restoration specialist and former trials rider and just a hell of a guy, a note on the subject. I'm guessing this was an entry error on their website search engine, which shows they have 9 Laverdas. Five will get you ten the bike, whether it's a Jota or a 73, is correctly labeled where it stands.

I agree. Barber is right down the road and while I do not recall seeing a 73 Laverda 3c on display (I have a 74 and would have noticed), I can say the displays, motorcycles and labeling are superbly researched. A typo for sure.

I have seen this display and it is labeled: 1979 Laverda 1200 30th Anniversary I do not recall a TS.
And the museum has Laverda events on the calendar. This past February 19, 2020 ? Museum Talk: The Laverda Project. Speaker: Motor Journalist, TV Host, Philanthropist and Adventure Rider Neale Bayly

After buying my SF0 a year earlier I was rather disappointed that I did because the Breganzie Laverda Triple came out in mid 73. It was advertised simply as a Triple with the comment "Dance in Triple Time". Although it did not display the JOTA label, I always considered the 73 Triple intro as the original JOTA as JOTA means to Dance in Triple Time.
On the years that followed I had less time for biking and in all was pleased that I had purchased the SF0 as it was rarer then any JOTA and always performed extremely well for a 750. Also by the mid 70's there where lots of competition in the 1000cc market costing much less then the JOTA.

I am not stopping now Lordy boy,
but it would seem that many years later the Barber museum have actually taken note of comments that they have received, although mine was decades ago, so I wont claim a goal on that one, I mean I am called Clem aren't I, and no one takes notice of me? if I were called Iannuci.....................it is distressing that museums that have a massive or tiny reputation do not ask the obvious learned experts, which does not include me, when they have specialist items that can be evaluated by these learned people, they just seem to think that they know it all and carry on regardless, for me its abit like doctors, who always see the patient as a personal challenge, and try their very best to help that patient, and caim a victory, but in reality it is much better, time and time again, to refer the patient to a specialist in that particular field.
In November I had a cancerous growth removed from my face by a dermatologist at Guys hospital where I go annually for a skin cancer check, as my post transplant drug routine leaves me prone to it, good job I thought, spotted very early and removed, but just three months late a growth has appeared right in the middle of the scar from the previous removal, and I go back, this time the very same doc, says Oh dear that's come back again, I had better get you to the cancer unit and have that "properly" removed, WHAT!!! you stupid selfless soul why didn't you do that in the first place????? the date was set at 13th June, far too long in my opinion and with the now in place lockdown what the hell can I do about that?

It was Neal Bayley who did a video around a 750SFC at some restoration workshop. Neither he nor the head mechanic knew anything about the bike.Rusty Spokes said:

That Breganzie 1200 30th looks like a Kawasaki 1100 LTD - Turned me OFF!
No doubt that Breganzie built was 100 times better.
Maybe why I choose to ride a Suzuki GSXR that summer for 1/2 the price.
I'm not condemning the ride but the Breganzie factory was not automated to long term competition. If they did we would have Breganzie built Aprilias and KTM's today. Austrian Vs Australian.
You have to thank Bombardier Quebec Canada to carry the Breganzie linage with their Rotax Engine.
Don't get me wrong because a Beganzie 750 SF0 is fast enough with a God Damn right to race anything ;o)
