Your S2 looks great. Like the wheels on it. I owned an ABY S2 Coupe before the RS2.

My second Mk2 Xr2, full body restoration using freely available (back in 1999), all new gen ford panels, rebuilt 1650cc CVH, big valve head, twin 40 dcoe's, made really good power, sold it due to lack of use, 3 days later the young lad who bought it, demolished an empty bus stop and a traffic light pole, every panel was bent and it was a write off..... still makes me sad to this day....

I wish I hadn't sold my S1 Exige. Thought I was doing well by selling it for about £3k more than I paid for it. Would probably have to add another £10k to buy it back. Still think they look fab. Hey ho... live n learn.

Sometimes this -



Often this -



Plus loads of other cars and bikes. In fact all of the 50 or so cars I've owned, I wish I could have kept, but without selling one, I couldn't fund the next.

Oh for a lottery win and a warehouse. smile

I'm looking at so many of these cars and thinking, 'why on Earth did you sell that?!'.

I've come close to selling mine, but I've decided against it after much to-ing and fro-ing for the very reasons highlighted on this thread!

Some love cars on here, lets hope they're still knocking about!

Wow, there are so e amazing cars on here.

My biggest regret isn't all that special....a 2004 MINI Cooper S.



Sorry for the bad dealer pic, it's the only one that I have.

For some reason this car got under my skin like no other, I just loved the damn thing. It had a pretty good sped; full black leather, multi function steering wheel, 6 disc changer, visibility pack, chilli pack and wood dash. The supercharger made a fab noise, I loved the exhaust pops; every drive just felt fun!

It wasn't that fast in a straight line, but on a country lane it was an absolute hoot. I sold it for a MINI One due to a change in jobs which meant more miles...I should have just let the other half have it. The One was actually a good car in the way that it didn't cost anything to run but I hated it and couldn't wait to get shot. As soon as I could I got an E46 325ti which was a bit of a dud and cost a fortune in repairs.

I saw the Cooper S for sale again a few years ago and did come pretty close to buying it back but was sensible and took a company car instead.

i dont miss this (sold last week)




as much as i miss this (sold to buy the m5)



i should have kept the Avantime for ever.... the fact i sold it at a modest profit should have been the warning bell i needed that this was a bad idea!

Traded in this glorious beastie,


For this one



And hated it. frown

I knew within a week I'd done a wrong'un. The good bits about the Black were not enough to compensate for the bad and it was gone 6 weeks later.

Ouch.

I miss my puma every day! I really shouldn't have sold it and I am now selling my defender to get another one as I can't afford the fuel in my defender getting to course and back!
