for me its this.....

1.3tonnes 130rwhp of naturally aspirated carb fuelled backfiring fun..

Sold it for £4600 now worth £16-20,000.

 

Good news though! I now own a car that I would be lucky to get £4600 for and I must have spent £16-20,000 on it, ha ha lol

 

Certainly familiar to me but I bet this rings true for a lot of members on here :rofl:

It's two for me; although again I have no pics as I did not have a digi camera or camera phone back in those days.....

 

First was a 1961 Rover 100 P4. My dad bought it when I was 4 and I took it on when he stopped driving in about 1990 following his heart problems - I loved that car as it had great sentimental value...

 

Second was my old Jag; I had a 1974 series 2 XJ6 4.2... It was in reasonable condition - just needed a little tidying, but all good considering its age. It failed an MOT on the steering ball joints - and I could never be bothered to get it fixed; so again I sold it for a couple of hundred pounds when it could have been worth so much more, had I been bothered at the time.

honda prelude

 

 

Just becuase it was the first car I built from the ground up and was brilliant fun!

:sad:

for me it was my 3rd zed TT manual with 70k in stunning condition...

Think it was the s2000 for me... my dream car for a long time but just not useable as a daily, especially after I played with it :)

Richard:cool3:

for me it was bog standard looking 1973 mini clubman with a 1380 stage 3 block twin twin 45dcoe webbers and very loud exhaust .....great fun .....sole it for a

cortina Mk3 2000 gxl .......no pics as i am an old fart and dont have any ....

My silly-coloured Fiat Uno MK2 turbo. I was genuinely upset when I sold it, even though I had a 350bhp Sapphire Cosworth. The damn thing used to leave me stranded on a regular basis, but it sat happily up the backside of a Supra at 140mph. I think I miss my Cosworth more now though. I don't think I could ever 'feel' anything for a Japanese car in the same way. They just do everything so well. Unlike an old turbocharged Ford or Fiat. You have to love 'em, else you'd just torch 'em :laugh:

 

 

 

alfasud 1.5 ti 3 door x reg think theres only a few left swaped it for a 20s capri which i wrote off .

I miss my old beetle so much. Was a nightmare to look after but really wish I hadn't sold it.

for me it has to be this my beloved merc 2.5 cossie in almadine red

I can't find any pics at the moment but for me I 100% regret selling the first car that I'd ever owned. It was a mint black 'D' reg Fiesta XR2 with only 30k on the clock, I was just 17 years old at the time.

 

I was forced to sell it by my parents and looking back at it now the guy that bought it off me saw me coming a mile off. I only got £800 for it partly due to my not knowing my arse from my elbow but also due to the fact that my old man saw it as a 10 year old Ford Fiesta and advised me to bite the guys hand off.

 

When I say it was mint it was immaculate, the previous owner was a mechanic and pampered it in his garage from new!! If I found it now in the same condition I'd snap it up.....just need to find a pic or at least some reference to the reg number...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crying: :wacko: :hammer:

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crying: :wacko: :hammer:

I've got a Bertone Ltd Edition one of those (no. 56 or something) in blue.

For me it's my old Vectra GSi, never missed a beat that car and stuck to the road like glue, also had AP Racing 4pot brakes with 330mm discs. Couldn't justify keeping it once I got my zeds. Pretty sure that once I get my lady on the road I won't give the gsi a scond thought thou' lol

 

These.... After all, you can't just choose one can you! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But this one the most I think..... My first real powerful car:

I know the car you mean, I had a similar one in blue with half leather half blue suede seats, really nice to look at but crap 1.8 engine.

I most regret getting rid of a Mazda Xedos. Proper old mans car but it was sooo smooth. Lovely to drive

I had a renault 21 turbo, absolutely mint. Ugliest car I've ever had, but my god could that thing haul!!!
