Looking for my old Jarama

[Ozzie]

I'm sure it's more than a long shot but I'm looking to find my old Jarama DPX 305W.
I bought her new early 1981. She was supposed to be a 'keeper' but an extremely nasty divorce put pay to that.
I have found that she was last MOT'd in 2019 and was recorded as a Jota? but that's all I've been able to find.
Was hoping that someone might be able to give me some clues or throw some light on where she might be now.
First photo as she looked when purchased new, second photo as she looked when we had to part company.
Thanks for reading this.
All the best
Ozzie

I'm sure you have posted similar on Faceboob. Interesting cans you put on that.

No mirrors tidy it right up….. settle folks. I know the cons, but look at the pros …

Funny, son just played that song today; it took him a while to dig it, but he's half Aussie, so it sank in eventually. When I was young and rode too fast & had a limber neck, it was mirrors, schmirrors!

Anyway, to OP, that's a gorgeous Jarama. Maybe posting the serial # would help, but who knows.

Hi 3CBRG, not posted on Facebook yet.
But on a real crusade to find the old girl now and if found to see if I can persuade the current owner to sell her. Diagnosed with Parkinson's 11 years ago and currently having to wrestle a new licence out of the DVLA every 3 years.
All I can remember about the cans were that they were meant to be Jota pattern items. They were great quality and coupled with a Jota intermediate and a carb rejet turned her into a really sweet ride.

Chat GPT has just thrown up this...... file attached.
Don't suppose anyone knows of Scrumpy or bsab31's whereabouts?
Will post again if I can establish her frame/engine Nos in the meantime will pester DVLA via form V888 for whatever I can get.
Thanks to all for your comments and responses to date. Much appreciated!

I think Reggie was here ages ago, Scottish bloke.

Ozzie I have gathered all the info I have and sent it via DM. BSAb31 is called John and is from St Austel he was last active here in January this year.

Good luck with your search.
