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.

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!

I had to sell my mine to pay for my divorce. I miss that car far, far more than the ex-wife!!

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.
