Which car from your past do you wished you could have stored

[NelsonMuntz]

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.

Both of my Ford Capris, bought new in 1978/9.

3.0S V6 Essex and 1.6 Pinto.

Ooooh very nice. 3.0S my lord. Always dreamed of owning a 2.0S like my friend had. Wonderful machines. I only ever had a MK1 Capri (first car) but wouldn't mind that 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

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.

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
