Only selling my coiled v8 series 1 Land Rover. But I know where it is now so one day may be able to get it back.

I did think about selling my BEC last year as it would have been more cost effective than building into a fury body, I expect when I am done with it finally it will just collect dust.

Yes, wish I still had my first 350lc, the Kawasaki Z1000 and the mk2 escort I had..

Keep wondering if I should have kept the Striker I had as well.

Yes My 60's Fender!!

Very much regret selling my early 60's pre - CBS Fender Stratocaster in Olympic White.

Oh and my 1960's Burns Vista Sonic guitar


My Locost ?? , no ................I used it so little over the years, and London Surrey borders not the best place to drive one!!!

Best fun I had in it was trackday at Brands!!, even then it pissistently rained all day.

Regret selling my 1937 SS Jaguar saloon - bought for £40 in 1961
and my MG Y-type saloon.

But circumstances changed





I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Very nearly sold my Seven, so glad I didn't, I've come and gone through motorbikes, verious tin tops etc. Only vehicle I regrate selling was my Suziki Rgv250 was like new and would be worth a fortune now
Don't think I'll ever sell the DRM it's a one off and fast as F it's going to have a full rebuild in 2021 when she's 20, new modern Bike engine, Indepent rear end instead of the Dedion.

Every single day....
At least the Striker went to a locostbuilder user (ravingfool) and has been doing a sterling job of correcting all my mess!

If i had any money and buying it back was an option, i'd do it right bloody now!

Looking back I regret selling my Fury but at the time I was not using it (now have more time and £ so could !), so was happy to see it is being used for what it was meant for (spirited road and many track days) by a locostbuilders member.
