One car you parted with - regret forever?

Posting on another thread got me thinking.... we must all have one motor we wish we had never parted with.

No words necessary, this pic says it all:

405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus
93 RR Classic efi

Remember it's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

Gone in order:
4.4 TDV8 SE - gone to a good home
93 Classic hard dash Plymouth Blue
03 L322 Oslo Blue
2000 Disco TD5 ES Epsom Green
98 P38 Rioja Red
89 Classic Cairngorm Brown

That looks lovely!!

I've had a few I've regretted parting with but I guess the pick of the bunch would have been the '83 911 SC that I sold in 2008.... thought I got a good deal at the time (one of only a few cars I've made money on ) but seeing how much they're going for these days really makes me wish I still had it...

Ooh, I do love a Skoda vRS....

Bought a Fabia vRS in 2004, then had a first gen Octy vRS then had another Fabia then had a facelift Mk2 Octavia...

The WRC ones are super cool.... Andrew.

2007 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Santorini Black

SO many I wish I still owned...

Most recent parting I regret was with my much-loved G Wagen.

Probably a little contentious here, sorry, but it was lovely to drive and (also contentious), nobody ever abused me for driving it, let its tyres down or deliberately avoided giving way at junctions!

It wasn't new and perfect, an AMG or suchlike, the roof is wrapped silver as no aircon meant it got very warm inside but it had as much character as any car I've ever owned.

I hope its new owner is getting as much joy-of-ownership as I did

Best wishes to all

Me too, my 1985 Carrera 3.2 I sold in 2020. I had it 9 years so I made plenty of money on it but miss it so much. I'm an idiot for selling.

2017 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

Some of my old company cars from the 90’s would have been good to keep, such as the original Golf 16V GTI, Golf VR6, Corrado G60 but at the time, we just aspired to the next greatest thing since we weren’t paying for them.
Hindsight and all that Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

2007 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Zermatt Silver

My Fiat Coupe - a cracking car, the body coloured panels across the dash gave a sense of occasion inside and the 20 valve turbo engine was sweet, with huge in gear acceleration for overtaking

Bought it intending to keep it for two years and kept it for 10 - never let me down and only sold it because I had no where to keep it once I got a company car (sold for £1,200 in about 2011 - criminal!)

My wife hugely regrets selling her Z4 coupe - a really fun machine, but not compatible with newborn children

2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

2009 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

Lotus Elan SE
Traded it in for a brand new Elise in 2002 which we sold at a huge loss after 2 years.
The Elan is still going strong and we have always regretted letting it go.
Admittedly the front pads did fall off one day but other than that it never missed a beat…

My 1971 Hillman Hunter Royal 660 - I bought it new in 1971 and gave it away in 2008. It's still being driven on Historic plates.

At work just after I bought it:

Some years later - note the cracked dashtop from the sun.

2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 V8 Santorini Black

Sold my 2008 Saab 9-5 hot aero to buy the fatty overfinch. If I had the room I would have kept it, had it for 9 years and was gutted to sell it. But boy did I have some great fun in that thing over the years, such a sheep in wolves clothing. Used to love the look on boy racers faces when I used to leave them standing at traffic lights, priceless.
