I don't mean the same actual car, but more like you sold one and missed it so bought another.

I'm contemplating going back to something I've already had a couple of times, just wondering if others have done / would do the same?

Discovery 3, then another Discovery 3. This was followed by a Range Rover for me and a Freelander2 for OH. Yes we like our Land Rovers.

I've had 27 Mk2 VW Polos. Do I win a prize?
I could buy low and sell high (Relatively speaking) at the time.
I still like the simplicity of them......

....Hmmm, I'm off to e-bay for a minute or two smile

Somehow ended up buying three Citroen Saxo death traps so far - They are cracking good fun in my defence though. smile

Would consider another one or a 106 GTI, but they are getting on a bit now and nice examples aren't so easy to find.

I would love a refurbished GTI sometime though, perhaps wait for my lottery win? tongue out

I stuck with mk1 and mk2 golfs for ages before getting into proper actually worth owning. I've also had two minis, two elises, three mx5s and plan on getting another elise soon.

I guess cars you've previously owned are always a safe bet.

Haven't (yet) but if it was special enough and missed badly, then- hell yes...would buy another to replace it, providing funds are there.

I've had three third generation Honda Preludes, which followed one after another. Now I have a 5th Generation Prelude so there is a clear trend in my habits.

In between the last of the 3rd gen Preludes and the current one I had two Citroen BXs.

When I find a type of car I like I do tend to stick with it.

I still have both the Dolly Sprints, the first looks even sorrier now than it did in that photo when I first bought it.

Nope, if I like them I don't change unless something I like more comes along...
