Which car from your past do you wished you could have stored
Discussion
Just been looking at Car and Classic website.
Breaks my heart to see all those cars that I once owned going for thousands of pounds. If only I had owned an aircraft hanger to store them all instead of selling them. I'd be rich I tells ya.
If you could have stored one, what would it be.
For me it would be my mint MK2 Escort Harrier. Can't remember how much I sold it for now (peanuts)but I would need £25k to buy it back today.

I've had some fancy vehicles but if you add up storage, tax, Mots, servicing, I'll bet most of them would just about break even after a decade or two of ownership.
There are plenty of cars I should've bought knowing what I know now. I nearly bought an E30 Evo Spot for £6500 around 2000 ish but it was a bit of a dog. When I was a nipper I had a rust free Mk1 escort for burning around the fields. That was £50. Ho hum.

No I'm talking about if you lived with a bit of space for storage, ie cost you nothing, which one's would you have shrink wrapped There are plenty of cars I should've bought knowing what I know now.

And yeh, if I had known I would have had a barn full of MK1 escorts, stacked three high, would have paid for my retirement I reckon
They were for nothing back in the day.Krikkit said:
Never seen an Escort Harrier before, lovely! The stripes set it off very nicely, just like an Alpina. 
Don't know what ya got till it's gone. Sigh.p.s.Yeah I know you were being sarcastic, but my point is I didn't know how special that car was. Or going to be. Only 1000 made, seemed pretty ordinary to me at the time as well.Now worth a small fortune. Ho hum

I sold a few Mk2 Escorts I owned for around 500 quid,oh well...
Back in the early 80s I guess. Escorts were pretty cheap - friends and I used to buy old Mk1 and 2 Escorts for a few hundred quid to use over winter and the muddy and salty roads - fun to drive on the back roads and dead easy to maintainRS2000s were £2k for a decent one - they haven't gone up like a £5k RS1800 though
To be honest something like the old 911s - 964RS - have gained far more money in a shorter space of time if you just want to get a big return
