Car you most regret selling



  Silver 172 Ph1
Everyone seems to have one regretful sale (at least)

Whats the car you regret getting rid of most?
 
  Motorbikes
My 1994 Fiesta. 1.3 LX, dark blue, had it for three year and put 45k on it. traded it in for my clio and got £150. so far spent more in a year on servicing than I did on the fiesta for three years.

My Punto GTT. It's time had come - 6.5 years ownership, 72k on the clock - big expensive bills on the horizon. Couldn't go around bends to save it's life, but it was a great car.

Saw one in Bury town centre last night, blatting about. Sounded great and brought back quite a few memories!

  Burgandy 174 sport t
my first car, was gutted when I smashed it!! Polo GT.

Not really sold although the scrappy gave me a tenner for it.
 
  Silver 172 Ph1
Hehe £10 is better than paying for it to be removed.

I miss my first car (Modeo..yeah crap I know) but eventually it drank more oil than petrol.

Not that I regret selling it; but I do miss it:

That was the first day I picked her up, ohh the memories :(
 
My 1985 Black XR2

I bought the car in 1994 when i was 19, at the time it was virtually uninsurable. It had a big valve head, big carb & 117 BHP. It was a total flying machine, i used to get at least 1 or 2 races every day minimum. The best time i have ever had owning any car. I sold it in 1996 after putting 50,000 miles on it for £250.00 less than i paid for it.

I then bought a peugeot 309 GTi big mistake !


I now have A new 3 series, a cupped 182 & a mitsubishi EVO, i had more fun in the XR2 than all three put together.

Gutted
 
  172 mk2 Iceberg
mark 0ne golf gti 1.8 8v

I don't regret selling it, because I wouldn't have the 182 otherwise, but I miss my vtr.
 
  Bora TDI - (ex172)
My Miami blue 205 Gti 1.6

The first real 'driving' car I got when I was 19. good fun and I didn't realise how immaculate it was.

Actually, I do miss the fun I had in mine as well. Cra* on the bends, and braking but I really miss it's 3rd gear overtaking ability and the turbo rush.
 
  RenaultSport Clio 182
Graphite grey 1.6 Pug 205 Gti F reg, bought it when I was 18 had it almost 2 years. Crashed it and sold the parts, the scappy picked up the rest.
Oh and my '76 mini resprayed in a Merc blue (quite like arctic actually), de-seamed, 1293 A+ series engine, LCB manifold, HIF44 carb, playmini SS zorst, half role cage, 4 pots on the front, 2 seats, stripped interior (just 2 seats, harnesses and a stearing wheel, cant remember what it was lowered on but it was a beast. Really regret selling that one! I'll try and find pics to put them up.

These are the only pics I could find of my mini, this is what she was like when I bought her. I took the back seats out and added the role cage, other than doing a little to the engine that's her!
Appologies for the photo's they were taken years ago by the previous owner.

My white Mk1 106 Rallye with full Magnex, 57i and Spax. Never made sense it was only a 1.3, it flew.

Loved my last clio to bits, and in some ways it was more fun than my cup looking back... Some good memories in this shed :)

I regret selling my gt turbo to a mate, only because three weeks later he got the fecker stolen!
