Jarama Registry

It does make sense for someone who is a Jarama specialist, or a collector who wants the best restored car available and does not mind the price. This is on account, of the hard to find factory removable roof panels. The removable roof panels, will add dubious value, to the price of a restored car.

With other potential buyers, it makes much more sense to pick up Roy's car, or a car that is quite similar to the recently sold argento/rosso car.



Peter,

You are looking at thousands of hours of work.

 

An Islero (or what's left of one) in a rather dank cave.

$14K was a princely sum for that.

 

Impossible to estimate the condition or even get close on restoration costs by looking at Ebay. You won't know how big or expensive the project is until well after you are neck deep in it.

I will guarantee that there are surprises waiting there, there always are (what part of "the car Is not running at this time", don't you understand) and they're not gonna be cheap.

"maybe a 1/3 of the work or more...." isn't going to save you as much money as you think. You will most likely just be doing the relatively low-value parts of the job. It will take you longer to complete each task so it will look like you did a lot of the work yourself. You will get some "bragging rights" for participating but probably not much of a discount.

A safe estimate, especially if you help.

 

i like this car for its rare cool roof, i know to some it does not make much difference but to me it is a very interesting feature

Ralph,
i'd like to get a darck colored jarama (black or blue i love them)

this said i do not see many euro guys payng 80k euro today even for a great jarama
is a good islero worth 80-90k?
sure, even some more, but the jarama with its peculiar design is not for anyone

in the same way as great countachs 5000S do not sell for 150k euro....or an LP400 for 300k euro

asking are still hi but few cars sell today and usually it is needed to reduce the asking to sell

p.s. when the economy would pick up again i won't be so surprised to see 80k euro jaramas, 200K euro serie uno LP400S or 400k LP400

 

The exchange rate is approximately 8800 Euros and the reserve was not met.

I think that is a lot of the problem. In the U.S., a person can often purchase an excellent (ready-to-go) Islero for less money, than the total cost to restore this Jarama project car.

An Islero driver, was just sold on the bay, for 47.7K

Roy's Jarama, is a better value than the Jarama project car.

 

I'm glad to see that the madness stopped at $13K. Too bad for the seller but it simply isn't worth more in it's present condition.

 

this jarama had an interesting asking price

Should be done this week, I am told by the mech that it runs as a screaming ape..very impressed with it. He also works on the GTS here in Seattle that has the sun roof in it from the factory owned by Jan that used to work for Lamborghini years ago. He cosntantly is saying how beautiful condition mine is in and urges me NOT to sell it...keep it with the others in my collection...but I cant keep them all...or can I? LOL LOL

 

Funny, I have the CASSETT manual as well with the car...have not read it yet.

I guess I will have my passanger lean offer and adjust it, as she is adjusting me at the same time!!

 

Ok Emilo, I give up. What was the interesting asking price?

 

39.5k euro asking, likely possible to buy it at 35k or so

good price since the car looked original and good conditions

 

LOL
when i heard passenger i already knew what was to follow

you are a bad boy, Roy!
