Following a post I thought I would ask.
What cars you had and wished you didn’t sell for a few quid
I had a mark 1 escort sold £30
3 mk 4 cortina’s all less than £200
Mark 1 fiesta sport
Mark 1 Astra sport froze the engine no antifreeze
Mk 1 Orion scrapped
All gone and now worth a mint
Ffs I’m gutted but I bet some had mexicos and cossies they flogged for peanuts.
I saw an escort cossie go for 95k on bangers and cash
Anyone a bit pissed off like me 😂
 
MK1 Escort 1100 1973 feckin great little bird puller.
Citroen CX2400 Prestige mad as a box of frogs but bloody marvellous.
Daimler Double Six V12 5.3 litre proper guzzler.
 
1998 VW Transporter T4.
2.4 diesel

the Harley Davidson of Vans. So much torq...It was fun to drive. Would go up a hill the same speed as down. VW transporters. They go up in value over time. My mechanic loved working on it, he wanted to keep it.
 
1973 Mk1 Escort 1100 that I added a small racing steering wheel from Croydon Race and Rally Centre plus a classy wooden centre console.
1983 mk3 Capri 2.0S, jet black with stripes removed, wheel spacers and a red reflective panel on the boot......
 
My biggest regret was selling the first car I ever owned. It was a 1936 Austin 7 'Nippy', which was a two seater sports version of the little car. I bought it for £75 in 1963 with money I made from doing paper rounds.

I sold it for £95 after just a couple of years and a great deal of fun. It's still on the road somewhere and would probably fetch around £15k today.
 
I had a 1985 XR3i. To be honest it was not actually great. I had a 1983? Cavalier SRi which was faster but had four gears and no power steering. And they're a big car. And I had a 1990? Fiat Uno Turbo - which a bit like the XR3i always needed fixing. It was in a five car pile up on the motorway in the end.
Cavalier was the favourite of these but least cool. My girlfriend crashed it.
Let's face it - they're cool but they're not actually good cars. My Hyundai CRDi would easily piss all of them. Not a bad car really. I have the old luxury model. You get absolutely everything and crazily - everything still works.
 
My first car was a mk 3 cortina back in the early 80’s, exactly like Gene Hunts in Life on Mars, same Copper colour, GXL the lot, but I didn’t look after it, I run it into the ground and let it rust, if only I’d known what an iconic car that was to become
