It sounds to me like you already know how to recognise the right car - just ignore all the other distractions that will waste your time and money...
Hi Shaun, I purchased Jarama #10024 in a very sorry state and restored it over a period of a couple of years to what I considered to be very nice...
If you're in the market for a RHD Jarama, then there's not a huge choice - 8 Series 1 and 18 Series 2 - or there abouts and therefore a sellers...
I think that the issue with this car is that the owner is describing it as if without imperfections; which it clearly now has. Regards Andy
I don't recall these being present when I saw it but it was some time ago now. Personally however, such minor imperfections would not bother me...
Hi Olivier, No, I noticed it being displayed on the Historics stand at "Brooklands Italia" when I was at the show with one of my other cars. My...
I agree, and am sure the seller does now too.... But I guess that was maybe 2-3 years ago and prices had peaked and were just about to fall off a...
It was better in person than the photos suggested, or at least it was when I saw it preceding the "Historics" sale (bid to £90K then but didn't...
I have to agree Peter, I will probably not bother for the front, but my concern with the back is someone with less "observation skills" going into...
Hi Olivier, That certainly look like a fun place to visit regardless of finding bumpers; I'll look at doing that this year (assuming it goes...
Hi Dougal, It is indeed possible that my CN12's are so old they have mis-shapen (it seems a huge dimensional change to me though). However, I...

This thread is a little old, but I will add the information I know about in case it is still of interest: For 1970, at least the first UK car was...
The Torino (Italia) is finally finished and today the weather cooperated and I took it out for a few photographs. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] I...
For those that haven't seen it, a potentially interesting project has presented itself on BaT. Nothing to do with me even though I contributed to...
Saturday my car passed its MoT (UK safety inspection) and now awaits its plates to be issued to achieve full road legal status. It's been around a...
This information relates only to the early Torino and Italia. My car is the first production Torino and I suspect, in common with most low...
I spent quite a bit of time coming up with solutions for my front suspension - assuming yours is the early type too, I am happy to share if it's...
Progress has been a lot slower than intended, mostly because of a lack of any more time to spend on it other than a few hours here and there, but...
Some progress - Engine bay is now stripped out, the "black goop" is removed, stress cracks to the inner wings and one engine mounting post is all...
