Any of you have pics of an old car you used to own that you would love to have back????

I found some old pictures of mine, got me thinking and I'd love to get it back..... I fear as it was 6 or 7 years ago since I owned it that it's no longer with us......nobody looks after a car like you do!! smile











I wonder where it is now??

Cheers,

Matty

Wish I still had my Lotus Esprit 1989 NA pearlescent white blue leather. Had to go as incompatible with divorce. No pics as G/F took them when we parted company.....

How strange that this topic should come up now.

I sold my Jeep in 2007 when I bought my 911. I missed it lots.

Luckily I sold it to a mate, and last night I bought it back! Yay!

2003 1400cc MG ZR 3door in anthracite grey. Hairpin wheels, bigger brakes off of a Honda and an 800 vitesse. Coilovers and a Viper induction kit along with head work and various other tweaks.

had the 160 interior dropped in, and mk2 rear lights to replace previous owners "smoked" st things.

Handled fantastic, loved to be thrashed(when warmed properly) and was endlessly reliable. No pictures as they're on my old phone and laptops. But was kept immaculately clean.

Swapped it for a project 200SX that was a money-pit.

I'd love to have my MR2 back. That was a lovely car.

As said before, I sold this in an attempt to keep my wife, ended up with neither.

I miss the car.

Not mine but my Grandads. He used to have a lovely white Volvo Amazon. I'd love to see that back. Was known as Skippy because when I was younger and used to travel in it I remember the suspension being bouncy and as a young kid I named it Skippy! (as in the Kangaroo) Great car though biggrin

Probably should have kept this in hindsight. With all the money I have spent since selling it, I could have had all the work done to make this a cracker.
