Which car have you loved the most and lost?

[Al U]

When i was 19 (i'm 24 now) i had a red vw lupo gti. I really did love it, i loved how rare it was, i loved the even rarer option heated leather seats, i loved the short ratio 6 speed box, i loved doing 140mph in it on the autobahn and i just loved the love/hate looks. I think i'd still be driving it now if i hadn't been rear ended while stationary by a car doing 50mph. For me it's one of those cars that you love and is irreplaceable, i didn't even want to try and find another one when it got written off. What's yours?

When i was 21 (now 24) I had a black Lupo GTI......

...I really do miss that car

My matchbox Maserati Bora

I miss my Alfa 156, especially the interior:



Ultimately though it was costing me a fortune to run, so getting rid was the right decision.

[RDMcG]

Lancia Fulvia HF when it was just an old car

E39M5... a simply amazing car.

[VinceFox]

My capri. Sounds like she went to a good home though.

[Tyre Tread]

Charade GTti - amazing little thing.

Didn't expect that as a first reply! Did you/why did you sell it?

My Ink Black Fiat Coupe 20V.

Bought it with 32K on the clock and sold it with 96K a couple of years later. The car never missed a beat and cost me virtually nothing in parts during that time. Let it go for peanuts at the time and wish I'd found somewhere to store it instead, to be resurrected just about now as the mid-life crisis is beginning to kick in.

My 1967 Volvo 1800S. This picture must have been taken around 1993 or so, not a sporty car but beautiful, reliable and used daily for my M25 commute.

Sold it to go travelling after splitting with an ex, but needn't have really as I didn't use as much money as I thought I would. Gutted, loved that car.

My Impreza Wagon




It made every journey more entertaining in some way.

[DubZeus]

Golf Mk1 driver converted to 1.4 ABD/GT still with MPI 7k rev limit chip & 268 cam, not silly fast but it handled well & had so much feel & real fun to drive. Why oh why did I get rid

[Debaser]

My M030 944 turbo SE. Probably the best handling car I've ever driven.

Bigger and faster cars became more easily insurable and I wanted something I could fit my bike in the back of.

I've since learnt that bigger and faster doesnt mean its more fun, if anything, less so.

I've also only had my bike in the back of my Civic about 5 times since I bought it a year ago!

Now that is nice.

My little Renault 5, 1.4, 5 speed... total snotter that died from terminal tin worm. Not fast but it was fun

Had a Mk1 3000GT pretty much like this in Red with Chrome Rostyles when I was in my early 20's.



In a rather ironic role reversal, I lent it to my dad who wrote it off about 200 yards from our house.

Sad but: my mk1 octavia VRS. Wish I hadn't sold it.

[TNH]

My mk2 punto 1.2 sporting. Absolutely loved that car.

unfortunately some old woman pulled out on me and wrote it off

[CatfishCKY]

I miss my March Cabriolet a lot, rare, interesting and good fun even though it was glacially slow and hard to find parts for! I had some great times in it, and I did truly love it, but it made way for my first Mx5!
