Would you ever buy yor first car back?

[kambites]

I've still got mine, although it doesn't work at the moment.

[Krikkit]

Even if my Dad hadn't written off my first car, I'm not sure I'd want it back now. Even though I loved it, it really didn't drive that well. I worry I would hate it now.

[skyrover]

yes, but then I would have to drop the V8 into it that it so desperately needed

I wish! Sadly the massive fire pretty much turned it to charcoal...

You drove a wooden car? I wouldn't want that back either



P.S. I still drive my first car

Mine as an Austin 1300; it probably went to the scrapyard after I sold it at an auction with rotting rear subframe mounts. If it were still alive it would proably be worth buying and keeping as I suspect its value would increase from now.

My second car was a Fiat 128 - very few of these are left since they had major tinworm issues. However I do wish I could drive one today, just to experience the car again. Not much chance of that though!

Mk1 Fiesta 1.1 in Terracota, loved the shape and great condition little car that I bought from my Sister, bloody awful colour. Was rear ended on the A1 whilst sat in a traffic jam by some dozy bint doing 70mph in zero visibility fog. That car is dead, luckily I am not.

I wouldn't own up to being a chav on here Daniel.

I would love to buy back my Mum's Mini that I learnt in. Not only for sentimental value but it is a car worth buying back and keeping. That is of course if it hasn't been scrapped as there was a bit of rust. H523 FVR if anyone knows how to tell if it's still on the road or sorned etc

[Leins]

Aside from the fact that it's now dead*, I wouldn't want my '85 Saab 900i 8v sedan back, as I spent too long driving wishing it was a T16S Combi Coupe. Was a great car all the same, despite not handling, performing, stopping or looking very well


'* Not by my hand though, but it finally checked out at 250k miles to become a parts donor for an '89 900i 16v

[americancrx]

Mine was so rusty that I broke it in half driving over a set of railroad tracks. Given that it took two tow trucks to haul it to the junkyard, I think they crushed it.

[big_boz]

NO, it was a lancia Y10 that was so rusty when i stopped driving it that i cut it up and scrapped it so its probably part of a blender or something similar now

A guy in the York VW owners club recently bought the car his father owned when he was born and sold when it was 10 years old having tripped over it on E bay (a '72 1300 Beetle)...his wallet wishes he hadn't!

[CatfishCKY]

I wish I knew where my first car was, L919CPC, Nissan Micra 1.0L It's been registered on the DVLA as SORN for a couple of years.
The guy I sold it to did horrible things to it, such as hack the grill to fit spotlights in; add horrible rear lights and eyebrows.
I wish I had never seen that thread. Edit - Sob, just found it http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/ollys-pimped-out-k...
I think I would buy it back if I could, but only if it was cheap - at the end of the day it is only an old Micra that someone has hacked up!

I used to love the Cabriolet when I owned it, and my mum bought it off me to enjoy. I drove it a couple of times when it was still in her possession, but to be quite frank it was rubbish - couldn't live up to the memories I had had of it!

Not a hope!

2004 (54) Pug 206 1.1 Independance in black.

In the 18 months I had it it got thoroughly abused, was on it's third gearbox at 4 years old (both replaced on warranty) with another on its way out. It had an electrical gremlin whereby it would randomly cut out when driving (inc. on the motorway) and the last reason:

I was rear ended twice - once v. large HGV and then a Jeep Grand Cherokee, having everything rear of the back axle replaced/straightend twice!

[The Beaver King]

I had a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite Mk 2 with a Monza Speedwell bonnet.

Bloody loved that car. Ford Rosso red, 948cc A-series, cherrybomb silencer and removable hardtop. Simplistic driving at its best.

Sold it to a bloke in Belgium and bought my TVR S, still miss it though

[Mr2Mike]

An 850 mini in my case. I sold it because it was rotten and had no hope of another MOT without a huge amount of work, but in the very unlikely event it's still around I'd be tempted.

I would, my first car was a mk3 Crapi, I saw it on Ebay a few years back and regretted not buying it.

Would definitely if it came round again.

Me too, Mk3 Capri 1600GL - OPV 820W

Then put a V8 in it with a XX wide body pack

[rehab71]

In a heartbeat. It was a 1981 Mini HL in beige. I wouldn't buy it because it was an amazing example etc. but because it was my first car and I loved it!

Should have kept the plate at least, FOT 471X

[BRMMA]

Mine was a 306 D Turbo, it was alright but i don't miss it in any way

[TheD]

My first car was from my Grandad. It was a Morris Minor Trveller which I had for a couple of month before I got my Canary Yellow MK1 Escort. I want that back so bad.

[cirian75]

my old white 3rd E reg Pug 205 1.0 speed with no sycro between 1st and 2nd

no thanks

I'd have its 1.9 GTi brother in a second though.
