Any cars you regret selling?

[SaabC5]

Regret selling my Renault Vel Satis 2.2DCi. Lovely spacious, comfy car with every extra gadget you could get. Friends loved travelling in it as well, said they felt like royalty. I just never had the confidence in driving it without something electrical going screwy. The 2.2DCi's habit of blowing the inlet manifold gasket and blowing the oil out over the engine had something to do with it. (never happened to me but it was just a matter of time) .

A piccy of my Rouge De Feu VS.

I haven't sold it yet, however I probably will regret it when it does go - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261025346153? ... 944wt_1270" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;





41,000 Miles, 1 owner...

Mark, have you checked to see if any of those valvers are still around?

Franklin, I think you need to clean that armrest!

I'm 38. I've owned, at last count, 121 cars...

Regret selling any of them? Yes, my 2nd MX-5 (we were skint, it had to go), my Saab 900T16 Ruby back in 2006, my mint black Capri 2.8i and SID the 2CV.

Only really one for me. Saying that I wish I could have kept the Activa too.









Although if I hadn't sold this I wouldn't have ended up with the Jaguar

I will regret selling my current XJR when the time comes. I want to swap it for an XKR but a recent development means I may have to get something a bit more frugal. A C6 should do

I fondly remember that Alfa Toby...

And the symphony orchestra under the bonnet

[bxzx16v]

All my old Bx16v's are long gone I'm afraid Chris , I would seriously like another one but it would have to be in the same condition as my Zx , so not much chance really and it's convincing the other half too

Only 3.
My '83 Alfasud Ti Green Cloverleaf, bought new and probably the best handling car I've ever driven and the flat four sounded brilliant !

A '79 Peugeot 304 Break. Bought as second owner as a runaround from a local garage and it just won my affections ! So comfortable, economical and practical.
My stupid sister borrowed it and phoned me to say she was stranded in the middle of nowhere with steam coming from everywhere ! When I arrived to recover it she said "I thought the temperature guage was reading too high" Yeah, and she drove it in the red for over 75 miles ! The head gasket had finally given up the struggle, so warped head etc. The original problem was a thermostat stuck closed, so why didn't she just stop !
I should have kept it and rebuilt it but could not be without a car for the time it would have taken, so sold it to a mate who did repair it and then kept it for 8 years !

Third was actually my Dad's, but I wish I'd had it from him. An '84 Merc G Wagon, 280GE with wide tyre option. What a vehicle, I b l o o d y loved it. The best offroad 4x4 by a huge margin, and he had a Landrover County 90 turbo diesel SWB before it so I had a good comparison. Built like a tank and 3 diff locks ! The 2.8 straight 6 drank fuel though !

bx Tdi G reg, renault 21 D reg, renault 20 A reg, vw jetta syncro G reg, buick lesabre A reg, toyota celica X reg, xjr V reg, a6 twin turbo V reg, my other v6 xant S reg ((( my favorites I miss them all they were all die hards and saved half of them saved whoever was driving at the end of their automotive lives, others were sold

Excellent choice I had two Alfasud Ti's and have very fond memories of them, as you say brilliant handling and with that wonderful back axle they gave a very smooth ride plus the boxer engine is so smooth it felt as if there was a magnet up by the red line, so easy to see why so many people described them as the car of the decade. I've been looking for a decent early Sprint with chrome bumpers for quite a while now, I see that there is a rather nice looking Ti for sale in Scotland ATM

Careful with Scottish Cars Richard, especially an AlfaSud.

Likely to be as frilly as Chantilly lace underneath unless it's been really cosseted...

My thoughts entirely, mind you reading the advert I'm not sure how much of that car is still original

I take it that due to the lack of a photo of it the drivers seat foam has collapsed

[R9UKE]

A Flame Red Vel Satis - a rare thing! Probably best moving a 2.2 dCi on before it blows itself to pieces

Alfa 166 - another car on my list. This summer will hopefully see it crossed off!

Ah, the lad comes to his senses at last

For me there are a couple, A BX16TGS Meteor in Graphite (G 80 TEC), I bought it years ago and let my Grandad have it when his Cortina Cruisader Estate got to big for him to drive.

The other, my 2.1 Xantia Desire 2 of all the cars I should have kept it was this one This car was like the proverbal S*** off a shovel for a diesel, I miss that car

My old C6, only because I couldn't find the time, or the space to keep her.
