Regret selling my '87 MK2 XR2 ... ... considered at the time (by 'certain people' ) to be a 'boy racer car' so I sold it  -: never listened to 'boring' people again and thus keep all my cars these days (last 15+ years!) |

My 1982 Jeep J20 Pick-up, i had it when i was 17 until i was 22.
It had a 7 litre BB Chevy, running a Holley 4 Barrel.
It went like curse word through a goose, upto 50mph!!
But it would go anywhere, and spent most of the time rescuing stuck Landrovers, i never did finish doing everything i wanted to do to it.

Scary how some photos look like they were taken yesterday, but weren't! The 180b ran out of tax in 1994 according to DVLA Anyway, my biggest regret was selling my Cavi GSi in 2004. Am on the hunt for another one, hoping it will be just as much fun!  |

I regret getting rid of my '69 Viva GT. It was the HBH body shape, and the plate was was G69 HBH. It had been in a garage for 20 years when I got hold of it, and that was back in '02 - so it had hardly had a life! it had a phoenix on the bonnet and some original (bought as an extra US import back in 69) wolfrace slot mags. It also had a two stage O/D - one between 3rd and 4th, and one after 4th with a cool little red button on the gear knob, so you could redline it all the way to 110. Aparently it was an ex-works car and the back axle had been modded, which may explain the extra bell-housing that came in the boot that was aledgedly an adapter between the small block chevy and the GT box. The underside was all bellied out to take twin exhausts as well, all the way from headers to the tail. I didn't think much of that then, but now I've had a few vivas, I know that one was a one-off. Worth a mint now. I've got some photo's, but no way of scanning them in |

I've had a lot of cars, but this is the one I regret most....  ...but much like 10mpg, it had to go due to impending daddy-type responsibilities. Worth it though, because my daughter is ace! Chris |

I've had quite a few but the ones that stand out are - 1964 Sunbeam Rapier MKIV, 1972 Volvo P1800, 1976 Jaguar XJ6 3.4 S2 but most of all was my unrestored BMW Isetta. I was broke so the Isetta had to be sold to afford my son's first birthday - I got £125  A local chap I knew serviced them as his first job when leaving school and wanted first refusal if I ever sold so he bought it instantly when I offered it to him. Condition of they sale was he took me for a ride when restoration completed. 26 years later it still isn't on the road although I do see him working on it occasionally as only 100 yards away for me.

I almost cried when this went. What sort of 'tard would buy a Herald, buy the donor to do an engine and transmission swap, then end up keeping the donor? This  got replaced by this.  But... If it wasn't for that happening, I wouldn't have ended up with this  |
