What cars do you regret selling

Just though i might make a thread for people to think what they regret selling the most I regret getting rid of my first 75 PX03XMM that i got rid of as i wanted to go to POL

Financially, my 1949 80" Land Rover, sold for £75 , now worth £25K or more

Non really, we tend to look back with rose tinted glasses on. Comparing my old cars to new ones just reminds me how rubbish they really were.

My second Austin Maxi 1800. It was like a tank, but went to an enthusiast who got her into fine fettle

But scrapping Tset, my 416, was a rather teary affair. She'd gone all over the country with me. Holidays together. Got me safely back home on an horrendously snowy Boxing Day a few years ago after going to Port Vale for an away match. It started snowing about half way through the second half and came down thick and fast for the rest of the night. We had to stop on the M1 for a short traffic jam just before Sheffield and I was worried she'd skid around and get stuck, but no, her trusty wheels got going and we made it almost all the way home, refusing finally to get up the hill from Broomhill to Crookes. Parked her up and dug her out the next day after the roads had been gritted. She saw me safely through foggy drives too. Oh, and I heard tell she could also do a ton

Only one - my Vauxhall Calibra SE. It was an employer provided car which I had the option to buy at the t3-year replacement point. So my regret was not buying it and taking another car from the employer.

There's been a beauty that colour recently on Old British Cars FB forum.
My regrets are my red '55 split windscreen Moggie Minor convertible, 'Doris', badly customised from a rusty wreck, but very reliable. Forced fire sale, when I dropped out of uni, and was obliged to spend the summer of '76 driving an equally reliable Herald, with vinyl seats that burned my bare legs. The other is my Renault 19 16v cabbie, in lovely nick, generally reliable with some very minor niggles, except the alternator which I should have replaced before the car stopped on the M6 one bank holiday monday. Having replaced the alternator, I traded the car in for £350 against a supposedly reliable A4 diesel, which cost me £900 in repairs, including a new clutch in 2 years. Still kicking myself.

It was an objectively awful car, as something broke every few miles. It was underpowered, the paint was in horrible condition, Interior was chipped and things kept falling off, and whenever we went under 30 MPH the car would claim 'EAC FAIL' and go into limp mode, and we couldn't fix it. Plus, we needed a new clutch every 20K miles without fail, but that's my mum's driving...

We got rid of it all of a sudden, my mum finally had enough of it and we bought a newer car on the same day. Got £200 or so for the old fiesta, and although we were originally happy to see it go, it was a good car in its way. I don't know why I liked it so much,I don't think it was the car that was special. I think it was the memories I had in the car, I remember we went to a safari park in it once and a monkey ripped off the windscreen sprayer. I think things like that give a car significance.

I think this video summarises why we love our cars perfectly.

Or I might just be getting sentimental about a rubbish early 00's economy car.

I think that’s why I regret getting rid of my other blue one as well as the emotional attachment
