car you miss/regret selling?

[Deleted]

has anyone got a specific car they miss/ regret selling?
heres mine:

"86" 1.6l cav alot off blood,sweat and time went into this along with some not so easy to obtain parts that had to be imported and delays in having parts made, ended up a pretty quick car for an old 1.6 8v

[Murph]

'92 Carlton 2.6 CDX estate.
It had full leather and a Senator dash fitted.

I sold it to make way for a later 2.6 but it was never as good.

regret not buying an aug 70 ( first on sale sept 70)mk3 tina 1.6 gt 2dr in maize yellow back in mid 90's needed some work but even then prob oldest left.

regret selling my mk5 82 cortina XR6

[crazymonkey]

honestly the old family bus. mk1 mitsubishi spacewagon. ended up scrapping it because engine went and couldnt afford to fix it (nobody wanted to buy it as it was either)

probably because it was the first car I drove when I was 14 (off road of course haha) but it had a character that hasnt been matched by any cars we've had since. So much in fact that I'm determined to get another one when I can afford the insurance myself but have you seen how hard it is to find one now.

i regret letting my orange mk3 van go . not the fact it went but for it going to the wrong person

I regret selling my 309 gti and mk2 golf gti, especially after seeing my golf every week for a few years after I sold it and watching it deteriorate
I've sort of vowed never to sell another car if I like it which is why I've got 5 vehicles on the drive and an angry wife.

MJP - I love your mk2 cavvy, I'd regret selling that too!

My old Vauxhall Ventora FD
Completely restored her, spent buckets loads on her, work went slack
and I couldnt afford to keep her
Thats the one I always regret mostly,
also my Camaro, and recently My big old Toyota Surf monster truck

Most def this. Spent so much creating quite a weapon, sold for peanuts to peanuts, miss it everyday

[bl1300]

Yep this, sad as it is I still wake up and am dissapointed each morning when I don't see her on the drive.

Know what you mean
1999 sold my Ventora for £700 quid fully restored
and it killed me
especially now you cant get a half decent one for less than 2 grand

I suppose it'd be my near mint 1976 3.4 SII XJ6 I owned for 12 years for me. I was forced to take early retirement and couldn't afford to run it any more so sold it to somebody who a mate knew. A while later I came across it in the local scrap yard. Turned out the buyer had left his wife and she ended up being evicted from their council house so the car simply got removed during the council clearup otherwise, if I'd know, I'd have bought it back.

thats a real sad story mate

My old Reliant Scimitar SS1 Sold it once my little one came along, as it wasn't getting used with it only having the two seats.

It was the best conditioned one I'd ever seen with all the extras Reliant had to offer. I'll doubt if I'll ever find one the same again.

It's still alive, though. My brother has seen it at 2 car shows in just the past couple of years.



On the plus side, I'd have never brought my Porsche 944 S2 if I hadn't sold it.

I really miss my old Celica

[qwerty]

My Clio 16v. Timing belt snapped, gave it too a mate to fix and it came back with more problems so I lost heart and sold it. It drove so well and was such good fun!

[Marshall]

The first Escort I had (in sig below). Had to sell it as I hit a rough patch financially, had amassed a shed load of top quality parts for it but let it go for pittance. The gutting thing is about a month after it went I got a four figure tax rebate which would have got me out of the curse word.....

[keithyboy]

My MKII Golf Driver. I'd only just discovered this site then and didn't really know what to do with it so it went (as did my TSW EVOs).

I miss my Alfa 156 terribly. I've become quite fond of my old Audi but I miss turquoise leather, the raspy exhaust, pin sharp steering....... But it wasn't getting used, the fuel pump went, the MoT ran out, it needed a timing belt etc. To put it right would have cost more than it was worth and it still wouldn't have got used.

[dbizzle]

These ones...























...but hey, you can't keep 'em all.

[wal]

Got to be my 76 Beetle, I have been given the chance to buy it back but not got the funds to do so, GUTTED!!
