I managed to not only sell these two, but managed to sell both at their respective 'bottom of their markets"!!!

Sold my rust free E30 M3 for £5k



And sold my mint CSL with 40k miles for £24k



Really wish I had not sold either!!!!

Bloody hell you'd have at least 100k in the bank now...

My Nissan Skyline R34GTT with a 450hp RB26 engine fitted I sold it after spending 6 years taking it from absolute Stock after importing it from Japan to the 1st UK RB26 engined GTT. I sold it to get myself out of financial troubles and made the mistake of selling to the 1st person to offer me my asking price, rather than a proper enthusiast.

20 years old, very rich parents going through a divorce and no real respect for what he'd bought. He eventually sold it after a few months, and the next owner also sold it a few months after that and I lost track of it and haven't seen it on any of the forums ever again.

Doubt it. CSL would be about £30-33k. E30 would be about £15k. So I would be better off, but more importantly I would still own one of them!!!

My old remapped Evo 8 fq that I ended up selling as it was getting a bit silly spending £50-70 a week just on fuel to commute to work in.



The irony is that I've moved homes & jobs now, so I could walk or ride to work and have something like this as a weekend car.

Hurt like hell to watch this being driven away.....



Can't believe its been gone nearly ten years now - needed the funds to buy a business. Still run the business today, but its been nowhere near as much fun as the car

Sold for peanuts.
Really did have a soft spot for this Italian little lady.


Sold for peanuts.
Can't see me ever having a better looking car.

Thanks. Pic was taken in 2000. It was a lovely car, if a bit slow (1.8 manual)

[CRA1G]

Three that spring to my mind....

89 Porsche 930 Turbo LE White 12,000 Miles £37K

87 Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth Black 17,000 Miles £20K

Hindsight is a wonderful thing........!

You don't see many in that nick now sadly

A neighbour had one when I was young, remember sitting In it and wantjng one. I think rust will mean ill never own one.

[Sir_Dave]

Various over the years, but most recently.



Only 1 parking space meant:


Still gutted tbh, not like it would have lost any money just sitting there either.

1977 Jaguar XJC 4.2 - picked up as a non-runner which I never properly fixed.
Sold for about £100, my Mum made me sell as I was taking up too much space with my Lotus Elite II and Rover P6 3.5 at the same time.
The guy who bought it fixed it up and sold it for nearly £2,000 IIRC.
I'd have another P6 now too if I could.
The Lotus... not so much.

1.8 16v sorely missed.

[Hudson]

More sentimental than anything else, it was my first "fast" car and in my eyes back then it did everything.

Put a non-res exhaust on it for some hatfield tunnel childishness, i still get a twinge of nostalgia if i see one about.

and yes, those are fluffy dice

[flanders010]

everyone may hate them, but the fun it offered i miss greatly

They offer a lot of fun for not a lot. I miss my VTR the most. 4-2-1 manifold with no Cat and a group N exhaust. 50mm lowering springs were perhaps a little too much but it was seriously fun. Sat on the drive way for months as I could'nt find time to repair a damaged thread for the spark plug before i sold it.
