Wonderful car in my dream spec, but it hated me. ![](http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff47/GarethCF/e13e7460b7e8afabafb46ae1da7ef443_zps44453ead.jpg) Idiotic decision to sell this, fuelled by red wine and a Yank truck lust. ![](http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff47/GarethCF/Cortina027.jpg) And finally, one of the best cars I've ever owned. If anybody knows its whereabouts I'd buy it back in a heartbeat. ![](http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff47/GarethCF/2f15369892efd9c4ed7f3f65fd2cc480_zpsbgza9zr1.jpg)

![](http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo205/Ivan_Brennan/39225_1548192385485_5893559_n.jpg) I got rid of this after the autobox went pop. I'm hoping it hasn't gone round a banger track. I'd love to have it back

![](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3412/3343113007_c6183dd012.jpg) It wasn't this car, but it was one just like it. It was my Mums, my Dad sold it in 1979, when i was 10 years old even though i begged him not to, as i wanted it. I loved that car, and wanted it... Still do!

I have 2, 1st was sold after a drunken conversation at a show, the next day a big wedge of money was waved in front of me, unfortunately I accepted, ![](http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u197/ianianstewart/img009-1.jpg) and this one, suffering from major health issues, separation, loss of house/garage/workshop, in a fit of depression I let this go, I bitterly regret selling this, ![](http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u197/ianianstewart/WheelsDay2006046.jpg) ![](http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u197/ianianstewart/post-14-1100032881.jpg) ![](http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u197/ianianstewart/Picture004.jpg)

Nothing special and no pics of it, but only car i miss much is my old Ax Gt from back in 2008. Had a genuine 40k, didnt have a spot of rust anywhere, it was literally minter than a mint itself. just needed a good mop and polish. only paid £100 for it aswell someone bricked the windscreen and i lost all drive for it. so sold it for what i paid for it. Last i heard he scrapped it ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

For me it was my BMW Isetta. My sons first birthday was looming and I was young / totally skint so sold it for £125 30 years ago. It's still in the hands of the person who bought it and lives just a 100 yards away ! Today it'd cost me something like £5000 to buy it back - if it ever came up for sale ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

Probably the one that got away for me was ![http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8447/7966072624_e50317656e.jpg](http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8447/7966072624_e50317656e.jpg) I was looking for a Monza - couldn't find one so decided to go Manta hunting - wanted a white Coupe that wasn't messed with and in good order Found what I thought was a good one and it was rotten as a pear underneath Wend an bought a white 1.8 Carlton from the same year - one of the best cars I have ever owned Later on I found a Monza and never ever went back to 4 bangers

Another one was a Datsun 240Z, didn't own it but nearly could have, was a 71 yellow RHD car with slot mags, in the early 90's a body shop owning mate was selling it on behalf of a customer, he had done all the structural work to it, new floors, sills, rear 1/4 and wing repairs, was complete 100% solid and running, just needed painting and put back together, owner had gone to jail for a very long time and told my mate to sell it to get the cost of labour and parts back, the price ? £1000 ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) , passed it up as i was living with my parents, had no garage, had a Mini project sat in the drive and they would have went mental if i had dragged the 240Z home

Almost bought one in the 80's and still wish I had. Saw a tidyish one in the dealers, took it for a hurtle, liked it. So far, so good. Went home to think about it. Went back the following week and the dealer had gone out of business and all the cars were gone. Like many of us I have a long list of cars I wish I'd kept. Top of the list '79 RX30 Cressida, the coolest looking thing Toyota ever made, closely followed by the Allegro I had at the same time. Lost them when my first wife split the scene.

I think that I regret selling every car I've ever owned... The one I adored the most was this old bruiser... ![](http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr347/grifterkid/215d7c76-75c2-431d-b5c0-9ac02caf4a44_zpsafd69193.jpg) I should never have sold it and I wish it was still mine...!!!
