I was just thinking how much I miss my old Renault5 1.4 Campus.

What cars do you most regret selling on or scrapping?

Back in about 1996, I had an Ford Sierra XR4x4 2.9 twin Turbo Technics. Real wolf in sheep's clothing.

'03 E46 330ci M: Sounded great but thirsty. Plus it was black, therefore a nightmare to keep clean.

'04 Civic Type R: Only sold it so I could move out. Wish i'd stayed at home.

I used to have an old 1979 ford capri - i brought it back to life after it spent 10 years in a garage- only had 50,000 miles on the clock.

it was hideous beige colour, with checkered orange interior, and as only the 2.0s model - but it had bags of charm.

Wish i'd kept it - reconned the engine, fitted some big carbs, got it resprayed in black, got an 8 ball gearknob and fluffy dice (i jest..) ... but could have been quite an iconic car to waft about it!

There was a "barn find" Turbo on e-bay a few months ago it looked pretty good but didn't run, I know of a white LX that lives in abthorpe, never see them anymore, mine rotted away years ago.

My 205 1.6 GTi. Came just a few years (well 5!) too early and I couldn't have a 2nd car. It would have been a genuinely great example with a little money and time spent on the bodywork and interior.
