Cars you wished you hadn't sold.
Discussion
I am currently thinking about selling my 11 year old honda accord type-r, I have had it since 20k miles and 14 months old. It has now done 183k, what's the consensus, sell it or keep it and get it back to its former glory for the occasional summer evening drive. I think if I sell it that like a lot of ATR owners I will regret it!
Some lovely cars here people have sold on!

Very small world that's my Dad's old car (pretty sure...it always had a private plate on)
What is your dads name?, when i purchased the car it was one owner and just 17,500 miles, from a local man who lived not to far from the old Swinford Motors.Edited by jdwoodbury on Monday 17th September 22:15
Porsche only made 50, most were in red white blue and silver, i have never seen another one in Slate Grey.
I saw the car up for sale again this year at Hairpin Motors ia excess of £60k and sold.
I should have kept it.
This:
Mazdaspeed RX-7 Type-RS A-Spec. Rare as hens teeth - only something like 150 came out of the factory like that, and i bloody loved it. Sold it to fund first house purchase, really miss that car.
Especially gutted as the 'tard that bought it promptly ttted it into a tree, then changed the bodykit and 'tuned' it ridiculously.
It was a beautiful, rare car until he did that. .

Yep that matches the description, my Dad is Anthony Darby. I did quite a few of those miles, tragic really as he owned it pretty much from new, very rarely saw the light of day....often many months at a time. As you know it was in beautiful condition when sold, probably one of the best of that type.Porsche only made 50, most were in red white blue and silver, i have never seen another one in Slate Grey.

My 1989 M3 Cecotto, sold it back about 2002
My other big regret, my 1994 Evo 2 Integrale at the dealer back in 2005, I p/x'd it to him against a Mitsi Evo VI

Yes it was Tony who i purchased the car from although i never met him, a friend of his sold it to me. I was at his house last week to look at a 1966 250 SE Convertable he is thinking of selling but not sure its for me, very nice car though but expensive
Yep that's had a nut and bolt restoration, I know they guy that put it together. Another car that get's no real use so better it went to an enthusiast. Dad is making sure he leaves me no legacy ;-)Malam said:
There are a few I wish I hadn't sold...
My '88 GT/E Exclusive coupe- one of the last registered with 60k on the clock..
My '78 MK2 Capri 1.6S with 50k on the clock...
And my baby..'98 Cerbera 4.2, now owned by mart63 on here..
I also wish I still had my very first car which unfortunately I don't have any photos of. A '79 MK2 Escort 1600 Sport, reg: FTW595T.
Liking the Capri alot, I had a Signal Amber 1.6s back in 1985, my first car at 17, loved it, sold it to a mate who consequently wrote it off within 24hrs, bent every panel, the Muppet.My '88 GT/E Exclusive coupe- one of the last registered with 60k on the clock..

If any post in the history of a 'wishing you hadn't sold your old car style threads' this deserves the biggest one of these! Got £7.5k for it, the Golf was £14k back then, nice car but I knew I'd made a massive mistake the day I drove it home from the dealer in Manchester...
