Only two that I genuinely regretted, as in as soon as I had done it knew I had made a mistake.

And...

For me im only 24 so have only had two cars! My first an E36 316i in white!!! Miss it so much!!!

PS Don't tell me you got rid of the CSL :sad:

My list is long....Ciato Spider, Mk 2 Jag, Fiat 500...the old one with suicide doors...ha ha..loved that little car as it had a smile on it's face, little did I know it would be worth so much today. .Rover 300 , a bit big for me but built like a tank. Really wish I kept the fiat 500 and kept it in the garage to take out and play with now and then.

Jap import MX3 1.8 v6. Silver with original body kit. Not the fastest car on the road, It had tiny MX5 brakes and a British set of clocks (limiter is in the speedo), air con and a power sunroof and windows. K8 series engine that is so well thought out with none collision valves. Pity an overtaking lorry decided to take the side off with his trailer.

There were days where you had 6 pots on 2 litre engines.
Please have a look at picture attached with technical data.
It states in line 6.
Mine was burgundy red with rear and front spoiler and side skirts.

Datsun, also did a 2litre inline six in the 60s-70s.

Back then my parents were kids/teenagers.

I've owned 63 cars to date,and only twice have I cried like a baby when they were gone.

A 1980 Bedford C.F. Advantura motorhome. DMC 772V. Still on the road according to DVLA website. We went on honeymoon to Paris in her in 1996 (I think),and went on so many memorable holidays in her.

My beloved 1995 Lexus LS400 MK3. Paid £500 for her with 9 months MOT on,didn't need to spend a penny on her in that time,but failed the MOT on all coil springs broken!. Didn't have the required £600 to repair.Sold to the Essex 'banger boys' for £400,so only cost me a ton to run her for nine months. I thought they were going to have to bury me in that car!. Some say they knock the spots off Mercedes,but I'm not getting into that on here!. She was a dream to drive (even with four broken springs) and had the best sound system in the world - ever.

Yeah, it was a spur of the moment thing.

That month I hit a hare and shattered the bumper, my insurance ran out, my warranty ran out and then I hot a road cone in the roadworks on the A11 and shattered the new bumper so had to buy a second, being carbon fibre they are £2880 each!
So when I got my card bill for that month and it was £7000 just for running an M3 I decided I was going to sell it. Mentioned it on the old BM3W forums and that night I had met someone from Edinburgh at Heathrow to see the car and the next morning he transferred the funds into my account and had a low loader collect the car.

As it was being loaded on I knew I had made a rash decision and was gutted!

It all happened so quickly I didn't really have time to stop and think if I was making the right decision.

 

[Boxbrownie]

Didn't regret selling them at the time, but how I wish I had them now to sell!

Mk1 Morris Cooper S
Mk3 Mini Cooper S
Triumph Dolomite Sprint
Lotus Élan Sprint DHC
BMW 2002tii (with factory twin headlamp conversion)

Quite a few more also..........I regret selling them back then, if only I could sell them today :lol:

My Audi A6 (C6 variation) 3.0tdi. The best all round car I have ever owned, superb quality inside, the drivers leather bolster area even after 100K was hardly marked, the quality of the plastics/rubber/leather was excellent. The car being permanent four wheel drive gripped the road so well having both performance and economy. The 3.0tdi engine performed even better after a stage 1 remap and with a set of winter tyres on overtaking BMW X5's has never been so much fun.

Believe it or not the car I most regret selling was the Renault Laguna 2002 1.8 Auto, 100,000mls and not one problem!! I can say things like this as I have had over 170 cars and still counting.

I had Laguna 2 2005 1.9 dCi and in over 4 years not a single problem.

My mk1 MX5, one of the first into the UK, they will eventually start becoming collectible.
