I sold my mk2 Golf GTI, it was the right thing to do as using a van for everyday & the girlfriend having a decent motor it just was'nt
getting used. I could'nt get anyone to come & view it with being in the middle of nowhere so I dropped the price to £900, the only lad to
look at came from Liverpool & paid the £900, we both knew it was worth much more!
I split with the girl 6 months later!
Got myself a cheap mk4 Golf with the headgasket gone to fettle & use now I dont have the use of her car

S1 80" landrover BDX 681
Going up in value all the time, gave it coils and a V8, used to race and trial it.
Sold it to make a space frame 86" landrover but foot and mouth killed the sport.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing
Had a lovely Mk1 3.0 litre granada that I bought and sold twice... would like to have it now.

Don't regret much, but I wish I had had enough space so I didn't have to sell my old Mk1 GTi, Lhasa Green, 1.8 5-speed. Awesome little
car. (like this one)
I could buy another one now, but it wouldn't be the same.

1973 Lancia Fulvia - bought for £15 between me and a friend - scrapped
My 1973 Fiat 500 - scrapped
My 1956 Oval Beetle - scrapped
All scrapped because I was young, skint, and parents had split, house sold and nowhere to keep.
What I wish I'd had (slightly ot SD1 Vitesse, P6 3500S, Sunbeam Lotus (yes, as above; though a friend who did have one has now bought a
Matchless like the one in the pic)
Most Mk1 Escorts/Cortinas would have been a good investment 20 years ago.

Three things for me...
1. My Exige (pictured here in Bosnia). Absolutely loved that car... just couldn't get in or out of the bugger any more!
Image deleted by owner
2. My Caterham Super 7. Such a pretty little car and really well put together. This was the first car I ever took apart... and sold in parts! A
complete waste!

3. My ickle Yamaha TRX850. I've had bikes that went (much) faster, turned (much) sharper and stopped (much) quicker, but I loved the character
of this one!
 
It's Evolution Baby!

A friend of mine had a trx with noisy pipes and it actually hurt me chest if you were following too close and he opened it up
Clear crank design made it sound like a v, which was novel.

Renault R8 Gordini - everything about the car screamed motorsport - for it's time very advanced engine making 100 bhp per litre standard, twin
sidedraughts and tail out motoring at its finest. Every trip brought a smile to my face.

1941 Ford Business Coupe (Buick powered), 1966 Corvette L88 roadster, 1963 BSA Gold Star, 1300 Anglia Roadrace car, Datsun 1200 Roadrace car, and
finally 1946 Cessna 140 Airplane. Then the kids came!

Stupidly impractical and unbelievably slow but it was my first car and it never once let me down! Should have kept it and put a GT engine in it.

Boris, my 1997 Lada. If not strictly the best car I've owned, certainly the most surprisingly good.

Lots, but life's circumstances change. It's always painful at the time, but the 'new' is well... something new.
I'd happily take my Hillman Imp back though.

The only car I wish I stll had would be the 1977 Opel Kadett Coupe SR. It was white with blue interior, one of only 200 imported.....all of 1200cc,
but used to powerslide beautifully..

Mk2 escort automatic.
Bought for 120 quid as a donor about 2002. Got it home, spent an hour or two and had fixed all the issues with it. Had it on the drive for a few years
and then scrapped it. I've now found due to 'pre finishing upgrades' I'm not using anything from the car
