Jarama Registry

I count myself not part of these "most" . Admittedly I am biased as well. However the Jarama was not my choice by occasion, but full purpose, and I continue to enjoy it since about 20 years. Handling is beyond any contemporary competitor, I believe. Slight understeer makes it safe for the unexperienced and entertaining for those who compensate that by throwing in power in the right moment. Interestingly, the wheel bases of the Daytona and the Jarama differ only little, but I believe that the track of the Jarama is wider and center of gravity lower (please correct me, if wrong).

Having had a first quick look at the pictures:

Front bumper at an angle (drivers side "hanging", may be due to rotten front frame member, where the bumper bracket is attached to)
The four small grills unter front bumper apparently missing
The NACA vents looking as if having had corrosion at the frontmost part (typical)
Look at those tail pipes and their alignment! Who does something like that??
Window switches popping out
No photo showing the brake boosters (original Girling or cheap substitutes of other make?)
Wrong oil filler cap
Rear bumper looks warped (rear view, right and left side parts, reason?)

 

You left out the corrosion on the locking gas cap ...

 

Since I am not picky at all and generally happy about condition 2 or even 2-3 (truly, not only allegedly), I decided to leave most minor aspects away .

 

Chassis #10.202 has been bought by a LCB member.

It was restored in Italy by marque specialist : EmilianAuto at Bologna...

Our friend Stefano Pasini can be proud of his uncle : Mr Romano Bernardoni

All the mechanical fields are just perfect, what a great car, I'm very pleased to welcome it in our events in Belgium !

Can we say about the Jarama that is the first modern production hatchback and the grandfather of '86 Corolla, Delta Integrale, Peogeot 205GTI, Ford Focus RS and many other hot hatches?

 

Leyland wasn't before ?

Iso Lele was...

 

For me the first "modern" hatchback was the Golf. I bought one new in Australia around 1975, an early car with small rear lights. My then commercial director, a keen motoring enthusiast said, "one day all cars will be like this". I think he was right.

 

What? I must have the "speciale" trunk version. Because I just spent 3hrs trying to open the hatchback to no avail.

So why isn't this one 495K EUR? like this one:


https://home.mobile.de/HEURICHCLASSICS#des_211729474


Hell of a difference in price.

 

because the Espada S1 price is not realistic, but Jarama is really when you compute what it costs really at a specialist like Top Motors, such restoration is invoiced for 150.000 €, deduct the profit margin or benefit and then you have a purchasing price of Jarama base around 100.000 €, easy to understand

 

Yah think?

 

My first idea was also #10556, after checking recent pictures for #10556 I discovered some differences.

#10556 has a white interior (the advertised car has a cream interior), transparant blinkers on the front bumper, large antenna and no exterior mirror.

According to the seller the car was originally delivered in “Verde Rio”.

 

ORIGINAL JARAMA Chassis no 10348 for sale at FANTASY JUNCTION - less than 5200 miles priced at $325,000

Is this the same car sold at Auction in recent times.

I seem to recall someone saying the car was not as it seems in person.

The car looks good in the photos.

Has anyone on this forum inspected the car?

Nonetheless that is still 1/3 the value of a "comparable" DAYTONA!

The Daytona may be comparable in performance - but is No Match - when it comes to braking!

That suggests the Jarama is even more of a bargain - comparatively speaking!

There used to be at least one Jarama in Tehran; A black one which later was taken out of Iran and went to France in 1987.
I've recently come across this Iranian transit document which mentions 10052 as the car's chassis number. It has lots of mistakes (like it says "coope"! and 4006 as its engine number) and also says the car was produced in 1976, which seems wrong for the car's chassis number.
Checking all the pages of this thread, I found out that #10052 is now blue and owned by someone in Belgium (or France?).
Was #10052 originally black? Was it originally delivered to Iran? Does anybody have any additional info or pictures of this particular car or any other Jaramas relating to Iran?

#10.052 still belongs to French owner, in Tahiti blue color.

He borrows his car time to time with a special organisation in France for guys willing to live vintage car experience for a day or week end...

delivery spec is recorded as "argento / nero" and delivered 1st June 1971
