Just been reading the thread about a guy looking for his old XR3 and a few people have got involved saying about some cars that they wish they'd held onto and it got me thinking. I bet most people on here have a car in their mind they'd wish they had hung onto, so lets hear about it.

As with cars, its not necessarily about how much they'd be worth etc, everyone has their reasons for wanting an old car back. Also, has anyone actually sold a car and then bought it back however long later?!?

Bit tricky for me as most of the cars i've sold have been as a result of them breaking down (i have a thing for french cars!) But mine would probably be either my 205 gti or 309 gti, which i sold at roughly the same time. The 205 was like a little go kart and was a right laugh, and the 309 absolutely flew and sounded like no other car i've ever had, was pretty mint too. Edit, ive changed my mind! I had a Mk5 escort SI when i was 19, it was the absolute bollocks at the time, sold it when the second gearbox went! But wish i still had it now.

Some come on, whats yours?

 

Escort in my sig for one ,
And my old martini 3 door that lee cattermole has .

wondering ..............................

 

my series one that was in Fast ford march 08 - sold it after the shoot then the bloke put it round a tree!! RIP my series one

 

My Saph Cosworth, J-reg Moonstone 4x4 fantastic condition just didn't have the space.

 

My impreza type ra. Was a limited WRC edition. Couldn't afford to run it so sold it then 3 months after got a 5k pay rise. Seen it for sale since but was over 400miles away.

 

I've always regretted selling my Fiesta RS Turbo. It wasn't anything amazing but was just so clean and tidy and I found it more fun to drive than my saph.

 

mine would be my scooby should have just rebuilt the engine and kept it.

 

My Fiesta. Had big plans for it and loads of really nice parts. Rare RS accessory bumpers, a stage 3 2.0 Zetec engine on throttle bodies, carbon fibre roof and bonnet, Wilwood four pots, respray in dark Audi grey then i discovered the floor and sills were badly rotten when I pulled it to bits for the re spray and my Series 2 came up for sale too cheap to turn down. Really would have loved to finish it though

Before I took it to bits. Was a real head turner.

 

My old ex rally car, 1972 Avenger Tiger RLY716L

Loved that car, but had to sell to get my 1st van.

 

My Rouse Sport 304-R

 

one of my mk.2 rs2000's, it was mint.

 

My 1978 mk3 2 litre Capri Ghia in beige with chocolate interior... Keep thinking of getting another but not really practical atm. I WILL have another at some point though. Sold my mk3 Escort cabriolet turbo to a mate and I could buy it back but knowing how he drives I think I'm best off leaving it alone lol

 

Fook me, where do i start??

22b with only 12k on it
Tommi Mak with 15k on it
Evo 8 MR Fully forged running 480bhp
Saff you all know
Spec C Hawkeye..

Just to name a few...

 

my old 2.1 zvh rs turbo which was running 277bhp & 302lb/ft torque . i miss it so much at times . the shell is now for sale in london !!!!!

 

My XR2



Sold it to some lad that ripped it apart for some reason and killed the engine - Sad times.

Lee

 

Blimey Pete, you had a 22b, any pics of it??

 

my mk3 cabriolet and my old S2

 

My series 1 without a doubt. Sold it when I was getting married, I must have been mad lol. We are still together tho.

 

Always regret selling my mk1 uno turbo.Went from mint to scrap in 6mths -

 

i had one these


car for me was my first one a mint 32thousand mile mk2 fiesta van god it was clean one owner

 

Regret Selling my Mitsubishi EVO 8 FQ340 in Gunmetal Grey.. truly awsome car

Well not one I sold, but rather written off by a twat. but I miss my old Mercury Grey Series 2 Turbo... Mint both inside and out and a nice car to drive.

 

My first car reno 19 16v

had to make way for the cossie

 

i must have been lucky with your old car mate, never once gave me the slightest bit bother in 6 months! Just sold it last week.

2 x cars i regret selling, had a mint E plate black XR2 which i loved to bits and not very exciting, but had a mint mk1 Mondeo 2.0 Si saloon with full RS kit and lowered on 16s etc, was a brilliant car

 

My 2.8 Capri. Slow as fuck but a fantastic drive.

 

matt- i to had a black escort si when i was 19 which was an amazing condition car but i got fed up with it when it did its 2nd gearbox! i dont necessarily regret selling any cars but i do wish i could go back in time to times when i had certain cars like about 6yrs ago when me and some mates for some reason all had crap run about cars, we'd race them round farmers fields and everything. Fucking funny laugh a minute times, these days everyones moved on and settling down etc so arent even about anymore.

 

thats mint mate! Always liked 19's for soem strange reason. A lad round the corner when I was younger had a 19 Chamade Saloon and I always thought it was cool.

 

So was my Si, when i bought it, lovely condition it was, but being 19 and in a quickish car i soon fucked it up!! If i had it now i could easily fix it up but back then i didnt know what i know now, so went out and bought a 19 16v and scrapped the Escort as didnt have room for it. Bad times!

 

Cracking example of a 19 that mate, on the outside! If im not mistaken, didnt it need a shitload of welding when you sold it? Or am i thinking of another one?

 

A very mint XR4i in White.

It had just had a full resto when i bought it and came with Ł4k of reciepts

I cried when the bloke drove away in it.

A friend took a photo of it a few months later, it had been rolled

Steve

 

When i was 17 i had a 78 mk 2 escort 1.1 4dr

Brian

 

My old MK2 Golf. Some lad in Slough bought it and ruined it.



And my old Impreza which I sold because money was getting tight. Got much better job with more money 6 months later......gutted.

 

Simple one for me - sold this to Carlo, one of the best S1's around
