Ever had a car you sold, regretted it straight away and it still haunts you!

[Maranellohouse]

The guy who bought my Martini integrale a few years ago has now befriended me on face ache and sent me a photo of it. He's just teasing me now and knows I so miss that car. "ARRGGHH"

 

[richie_mck]

I can see why you'd be gutted, that's gorgeous

 

[Woodcutter]

Wow that's a beauty, must have been difficult to let that go!

Only car I desperately regret selling is this.

Integrale looks beautiful, was it fully motorsport prepared or just an exterior lookie Likey? I spy a cage in there..

 

[Maranellohouse]

It was almost full group A spec. Engine, brakes and suspension were done and body was next if I'd kept it.

I sold this a few times and regretted it.. Have bought it back twice and currently sits in the garage waiting for a new owner as I never drive it

Must have been worth a bob or two then, who did your engine work?

Looks outstanding by the way, love the lamp pod!

Ok mine is slightly less epic lol, I instantly regretted selling two cars, first was my old E36 318i Touring:



And after that my Accent MVi:

My s14a 200sx and my 180sx... Was the smart thing to do but I miss those cars so much...


And my little mk1 eunos I had few years back also lol

Out of all the cars I've had, including the Skyline, 200's, V12 Merc, Freelander, Clio's, various 4x4's etc, the only car i actually miss on a regular basis is a 1995 BMW E34 525TDS that had over a quarter of a million miles on it. It was a £500 daily that got a horrible time, and got treated as such, but I let it go in a panic 1 day and have regretted it since.

Sold my ST Mondeo diesel around May this year, re mapped and had a few pound threw at it Had it nearly 6 years and one of the best cars I've had

Some man from Richhill (sp) bought it and he was driving off down the road and I was wtf did I just do

 

[Mark s]

Been there, done that, bought it back with VRT paid

 

[Paul RS]

This

 

[Paddy_R]

My red Mk5 Fiesta Zetec S. I've had more expensive cars by 10s of thousands and more powerful cars by hundreds of bhp but that wee car was everything I love about cars in one vehicle.



Was bought by a guy on here but that was about 8 years ago now (just remembered it was @Curtiz)

 

[Steviegsi]

There's been more I have regretted buying looking out the window the next morning! Lol

 

[Lyons]

306 and Golf probably.

 

[Kerzo]

I regretted selling my Cavalier many moons ago, needed a new alternator and was getting a wee bit of bubbles of rust on the arch but it was a lovely comfortable car. Pretty much gave it away compared to the prices they were going for.

 

[Steve C]

This. I loved it and should never have sold it.

 

[Nickyyy]

Sold it cause I was finishing placement and needed the money, if I had of kept it for another year it would be worth a good few grand extra on what I paid for it.

Was such a clean car for the year

 

[Eager]

my black s14a with the carbon boot and bonnet. Was 420 horse and it made use of every bit of it in grip, My main regret is not giving it a full respray and rip the forged engine out which was getting tired and do a 2.2 stroker on it. I managed to track down the owner now in france, same chap i sold it to, 5 odd years ago. Just to check how it is. Its still fine

the offending machine

I have myself convinced i will never own something that was as responsive and as sharp and usable, unless i build another one, 3rd gear pull and a full pull in 4th could dismiss most things,

 

[gcon45]

I know I'd regret ever selling the NSX which is why I intend on keeping it for life if I can.
I'd get the odd random tempting offer, which would single handedly put an extension on the house but always catch myself on in the end as I know I'd immediately regret it and facelifts are hard to come by unless your pockets are very deep.

 

[56oval]

i dont regret selling it as it was time to let it go, i just regret not keeping it and selling it now in todays market, it would easy make 50k at auction now, if not close 75k. 100% original paint, twin sliding door samba, special order for lufthansa one of only 7 ever built at the hanover factory. loaded with rare options and factory lsd. 16000kms from new.

 

[hannakournikova]

1 car i think i regretted selling was my red 200sx...... bought another 3 years ago and forgot what the fuss was about. Admittidly i was a lot younger back then.
Another was my Eunos. Only regretted selling it as i realized after how clean it was.

 

[RComms]

My red 306 rallye. Was just in outstanding condition when I had it. Such a wonderful driving car. In hindsight, I should have parked it in the garage DNS rolled it out every summer for a few miles, rather than selling it and it going to scrap
