Cars you got sick of and sold but you wish now you kept them......PICS

[Mr Brannen]

Just looking through my Photo bucket thing and seen a picture of my first ever Cossie when I was 19, I sold it cause the head was on its last skim and the gearbox was whining,knowing what I know now about them and there being PF`s parts room on here I wish I kept this Sierra Cossie,loved the way it sat and the finish on the paint. Anyone else done this with a car?

Yeah i had a Renault 5 GT Turbo - first ever performance car bought it when i was 18 & sold it 2 years ago as a rolling shell minus the engine

In its prime the car made over 250bhp but kept eating gearboxes & clutches when on its limit & that was the main reason i got rid as i got fed up replacing them - sometimes i wish i hadnt sold it & just kept it garaged as really good condition bodywork 5's are hard to comeby nowadays

Sadly i lost all my digital photos from when it was completed so all i have now is a few old scanned pics before the engine conversion & on its shitty 5 spoke alloys - thats even more gutting tbh

[Rodge.]

RS1600i, bought it in 1992 - great car. Wish I still had it!

Not a good pic though (scanned). No camera phones in those days!

i'm sure i saw that very car, or something very similar as it might have been black, round my neck of the woods this afternoon

[yellowsierra]

My old Cortina Savage
Was mint and i converted it to rover V8 5 spd and 2.8 locker axle and even went as far as getting a Rovercraft 4.2 conversion. Got it all in and running then lost interest at the paint stage and sold it off
Would be worth a fortune now

[Tonks]

I regreat selling two cars. my 205 as i needed the money to buy my 1st home and my 1st cossie. was stupid clean but was standard power so was soooo slow (should of had the power upped)

[gar mae]

Yes, my Mk2 XR2 I had when I was 19 that was imaculate with 46,000 miles and my Moondust FRST

[Escy]

My Mk1 Escort 1300GT. Had it at 17, kept it a couple of years but got fed up of constant breakdowns. Reliable it was not.

I miss it now though, won't be able to afford another for a while yet.

Sure I sold it to a guy from Cumbria ,I think thats where he said it was

[Sanchez_]

My gt5 its was a shed but just so much fun to drive a bar of boost set of koni's and a cooler sold it to keep the cossie wrong move

[RichieST]

here's my old car, fookin loved it, spent every weekend cleaning and polishing it. Got fooked off cos the central locking kept playing up, so I sold it! What a cock!












And the fact i could get it around the country with using no petrol at all most of the time was a bonus too!!



Rich

[turbo_3dr_tommy]

caused me alot of heart ache but i still loved her, but she had to go

[Lee Ivatt]

if im honest ALL OF THEM.


biggest regret is my S1, should have spent another £500 on engine and kept it



also my 1949 beetle- shoulda put a scoobie lump in it instead of restoring it stock



my mk1,

shoula put a V8 in like this


And also im going to regret this one, its up at the mo, i simply cant justifiy keeping it


but heyho, on to new things (not always better or faster) tho i have big plans for next one 500bhp v8, oh yeh!

[Shandy-Ade]

[scotty_focus_rs]

check them out yourself see if there insured gives you a idea if there still alive

www.askmid.com

[JTECH James]

guys, heres the one i wish i still had








its a CADDY SPORT, only 100 made, basicly a golf gti in a pickup form.

it was 100% original, apart from the wheels and suspension....the body kit etc etc stripes are all standard trim!

god i miss her, but she had to go, as i couldnt use it, as it was too clean! i couldnt put anything in the back as it would scratch it

[indycos]

taxed until: 01 11 2008

so its taxed, but not insured? or just not on the insurance database. likely to still be alive!

[cossie04]

Only 2 i miss, my first cossie which i had for 4 years untill the engine blew and couldn`t afford to fix it





And my first M3, which after a while i couldn`t afford to run, so got rid. Bad move.

[Daviet]

jtech i didnt know there was only 100 of them made
theres 2 round about here one looks standard just low on black rims in white also and theres another with a vr6 turbo engine in it and mint aswell in a pale blue colour.both look cool as

[JTECH James]

apparently 100 made yes,

most you see arnt genuine sports, as mine stated on the log book caddy sport....


i met most of the others in the uk at shows, i was a member on the caddy forum.
mine was the cleanest of the lot....i found her under a tarp in someones back garden....pressure washed the algae off, and thats what was underneath...chucked some coil overs on it, and that was all i did to it!

Thanks, I loved it too. To be fair, it was a bit rough around the edges but it was a daily driver. Was a 1300cc but I was running it on twin 40's. I sold it for £2600 in 2004. I don't know what it's worth now but the prices haven't stopped rising since then.
