What would you buy back if you could?

[TISPKJ]

Following on from the guy trying to find his dads old motorcycle, what would you buy back if you had the chance ?

I guess the tricky bit is at current Market Value ...... Not what we sold at sadly

Cars - possibly my Cortina 1600e, Audi Quattro, Honda Civic VTI, SLK, Boxster, mk2 golf gti 8v.
- 100% mk2 3.0 capri, mk3 3.0 capri. forgot to add the 993 RSR replica and the GT3

Bikes - possibly my old FS1E (SS), GT185, CRM250
- 100% RC45, 916 S, TL1000s,

My dad's Saab 9000 Aero.

There’s only a few cars I’d like to get back but not at current prices (E30 M3, Mk1 RS2000, Talbot Sunbeam rally car - would be 40k minimum in today’s market)

So I looked at the last bike I owned thinking that might be affordable. Honda MTX 125R. Can’t find any for sale in the UK albeit I’m not at all into bikes so might not be looking in the right places. One in Italy for sale

[Fleckers]

I went to look at my old MG ZT-T se 260 a few years back, time had not been kind to it and I walked away

[FarmerJim]

My dad's 1958 Jaguar Mk1 which he sold before I was born. Also my 1973 RR Silver Shadow, which now lives in Germany.

[IroningMan]

I’d quite like to have our old 2CV back, but that’s about it, really.

Oh, and maybe the Series 3 LR.

[Bonefish Blues]

Clio Trophy

[mac96]

I'd guess all of my old cars except the last are now baked bean cans, but if I were to pick one of them to miraculously appear on my drive it would be the Fiat 124 Sports Coupe.
Fast enough for our congested roads, and real period Italian fun.
Also I am the proverbial short legs long arms shape that fitted old Italian cars!

[mk1coopers]

My Dad's MK2 Black and Gold 3.0 S Capri, still on the system as SORN, with the last V5C issued in 1996, which is when he sold it, a lot of work went into that car getting it back up together, though if it is still out there I should imagine it would take even more now.

I don’t ride Bikes, but if I did I’d buy back the Vincent Rapide my father chopped in for a Hillman Minx when I was five!
Out of my cars, I’m torn between an Alfa 156 GTA Sportwagon, a 405 Mi16 or a Nova GSi.
But then I miss my Alfa Giulia too……

Think I’d take the Nova and Rally it.

[Wilmslowboy]

NSX - Daughter's oldest memory is being driven around in it demanding we take the roof off (targa)
993 4S - sold it as I moved house and no longer had a garage (..15 years on would be the perfect car for me today)

[G111MDS]

My Mk1 Nova SR. Finished up registered as G504 VGG. Out of 80 plus cars, it’s still the one I regret selling.

[FilH]

My first car, back in 1997 a mk2 83 1.1 fiesta.

Not unobtainable, just waiting for a semi decent early A or B plate to pop up for sale....

Need that 40 yr classic exemption to apply, as cant be dealing with another car to play swerve the ULEZ cams in!

Ebay seems to be the only place for bikes.

MTX 125 was the 2 stroke if I recall ....... mid 80's ?

Yes, a 2 stroke off road trail style bike

Mine was stolen, I passed my driving test a fortnight later and never rode a bike again

[TISPKJ]

Car and classic have a lovely MT 125 for sale ........ not an MTX but looks nice

[B'stard Child]

My 205 Lacoste - loved that little car but it's a fridge or some other appliance now

[80quattro]

My 1983 Audi 80 quattro. I swapped my 1990 Golf GTi for it as the engine was starting to rattle and was starting to get a bit rough around the edges.. where the Audi was immaculate along with a recently rebuilt and tuned by GTi Engineering engine.

A couple of years later, my then girlfriend decided to swipe the keys out of my pocket on a night out, took it for a joyride and crashed it. I claimed on my insurance but managed to buy it back with a twisted front subframe and sold it for parts to an Audi specialist in Bristol area for £700.

This

[vixen1700]

My old Volvo 1800S. Sold in 1996 for about £3500 but are now silly money for a decent one.

Also my old MGB GT V8. Again, silly money for a decent one.

Loved 'em both!
