The only one I wish I'd kept... the Golf now owned by DarrenW! ;D
It had a 1.8L 16v engine in a standard looking mars red Mk1 GTI and I've still yet to find anything that would go or handle like that! It flew! I will no doubt build a better, faster Mk1 myself at some point, but it won't quite be the same.

All the lovely cars i've owned and the only one i miss is this old sh1tta. You can spend thousands on a car but somehow this £300 minor did it for me.  |

Alistair.... if its any consolation, I regularly kick myself for not instantly selling my car and buying you old V8! It was immense. As for cars I regret selling...... My firenza....  bought it for £50, but did nothing with it like an idiot. Didnt have the confidence to just dive in like I do now, and some minor welding issues meant I had to give it away  That car was great, and I never even drove it! |

My MINT imported Zenki Levin. 66k miles and all original (except for the brand new HKS manifold. exhaust and filter. I don't think I will ever find as mint a AE86 for as good price I got this. Its not because I bought it cheap and I could sell it for a profit (even If I had it today it wouldnt be worth lots more than I paid) Its just its a shame to not have it now....     Ive had other cars I have wished I never sold Like a mint KP60 starlet and also I miss my old Charade GTti too |

Mk2 Gold Driver - Got it for £40 for me and my brother to wreak about in the fields. Had been painted orange, slammed with GTI alloys (?) and had a years MOT and was basically rust free.
We snapped the driveshaft in it in 5 mins, left it for months then left a brick on the throttle and sent it to the scrapyard.
Mk2 Jetta - 1600, again for the field, white, mechanically sound, granda borrowed the gearlinkage for his caddy pickup and we left a brick on the throttle and sent it to the scrapyard.
Granda's Caddy Pickup - Mint, mechanically sound caddy, blue, he gave it to someone who was using it at some stables, destined never to be returned to the road. I was about 9 at the time and tried to drive it up the farmyard and handbrake but I went straight into a trailer, of course the day before the new owner was ment to pick it up.
Looking back they all would have made great euro/dub/rat projects and would have cost pennies to do...If only we had knew then what we did now!
EDIT::: Just to let you know neither of the VW engines blew up despite having bricked throttles! Testament to them sitting on the redline from cold and outlasting our patience!

The one car I wish hadn't gone was my mums Passat. T reg (79?) hatchback in brown with beige interior. Slammed on rims it would be my ideal car.  well.......i may be able to help you out ;D not sure whether to break her up......storage is becoming a problem......which is the main reason behind me selling most of my cars, when I didn't want to....   oh....the ones i really wish i still had.......... mk1 jetta in yellow  mk1 xr2... mk4 rs turbo......yeah, i know.........but i was 19 and it was the dogs danglies (1993) |

I wished i still had my old 2.0S Capri. It was a 1982 Mark3 in black with 38k on the clock. Looked totally standard and just had sensible upgrades such as a kent cam, 4 branch manifold with stainless exhaust. Anti dive and axle locator kits. No word of a lie it looked absolutley brand spanking new but was so good that i became too scared to drive it in case it got scratched and would only see daylight when i pushed her out of the garage, waxed her, then pushed her back in again  Sold her for £6500 to a private collector and cryed like a baby when it was put on a trailer and towed away  |

There's not many cars that i regret getting rid of but there are one or two that spring to mind. I should never have got rid of this...  It's a Nissan Gazelle RSX which is like a UK S12 Silvia but with a coupe body and an FJ20ET under the bonnet. These are 190bhp+ from the factory and damned fast! Of course there's also my lowrider 260C. Even though it was sh!te to drive and sucked a huge amount of money from my wallet i do miss it. One day, if the price was right I could be tempted to buy it back.  |

2.0 Sierra I sold this week, 205 XS I sold last month, E-reg 323 from December - theres probably been one per month for the last three years so thats a few regrets for you.
Still it keeps them in circulation and they tend to fall into better hands after I`ve bought them in, smartened them up and ironed their faults out, whereas if I didnt bother with these old`uns I doubt any other local dealer would so they`d end up as pizza delivery chariots, next stop the scrapyard.
Still have dreams in which I somehow get my first car, a 1991 Seat Ibiza "system Porsche" back again and I wake up disappointed when I remember I sold the car through an auction for £150 in 2002, so theres no way its coming back, ever!
At least the sellers of V8 Ventoras and 6 wheel V8 vans etc. can take some solace in the fact that the car probably went to a good home, they`re hardly the kind of thing someone buys if they`re just after a cheap car with a bit of tax and test to tide them over for a couple of months.
