A lot to choose from,

But It has to be my 1964 Austin Mini 970 Cooper S, only a limited number were made as Homologation specials. Kept it for a year or so the traded it for a 1275 Cooper S.

One 970cc model recently changed hands for in excess of £60k.

My highly modified Sierra Cosworth. I sold it in a fit of rage and the guy who bought it destroyed it on a track day 3 months later.

I also regret selling my Alfa GTV V6.

I had a couple of VTS’s back in the early 00’s. The blue one I had I modified, slammed, chipped, alloys, exhaust. Went like stink, only 850kg and was running 170bhp. The strength of a crisp packet but so much fun.

Of course the one I saw and asked about is in very good condition. Mine you had to pump the brakes to stop when I flogged it, but I’d have had 30 yrs to have worked on that if I had kept it all this time.

Had a Vauxhall Astra GTE in late 80's and very early 90's.

It was an insane car! It only had 4 gears and could do nearly 100mph in 3rd (er... so I heard once... a rumour anyway

) yet it was better than most 4x4's in the snow.

All my other cars since have never quite matched that superbeast!

by the big field

One of the last 1275gt's to roll off the line, pretty much pulled it apart and restored it- including top end engine rebuild running a pair of 1 3/4 SU carbs off a maxi and a medium profile race cam with a match flow 3 branch manifold exhaust system. Was so quick it was a struggle to change gear with your foot down.

Sold it for £1400 just before the announcement of the new Mini coming out...current cars in that condition go for upwards of £20k

Also wish i could have kept my Jag. It was a shit heap but wonderfully quick with the most gorgeous leather interior. Way too expensive to restore and way out of my mechanical knowledge to do it. 22mpg if you played nice- about 6mpg when you booted it! (sold it to a guy who broke it to build an AC Cobra replica)- but i'm pretty sure i could have found a decent enough story to get Car SOS on the case for me

My lovely little Renault 5. I inherited a car when my dad died so took it to the scrap yard as I couldn’t sell it. But it had such sentimental value, and I was already in a sad place that I just couldn’t handle it being crushed…so I went to the yard the next day and bought it back! Ended up giving it to a colleagues son to fix up…so a happier ending!

For me it was my Shogun 7 seater, bought it from new and had it for 7 years.

It was a bouncy ride with its high profile tyres and not very fast but it would go anywhere off road. Pulled a 3 ton trailer and if you took the back seats it was like a van! Now drive an Audi A6 which is a lovely car but I do miss the Shogun!

Paper Town Central, Essex.

My Talbot Sunbeam Lotus.

Or rather, our.

Used to rally and the driver flipped it and ran it nose on into a tree.

Not fun when you're upside down with a gearbox by your right knee.

So we flogged it.

Worth serious money now. Its still competing too.

This is not meant as a diss, but I remember the time when that was considered a seriously fast car…

My first ever car even I passed my test at 17 was a MK1 Ford Es cort RS Mexico. Absolutely loved it .It had a roll cage ,4 big Cibbies on the front twin carbs . Had it for 5 years . If I knew back then how much they sell for now, I would have mothballed it in my garage for 20 years ,and sold it for a fortune now.

Land of the Long White Cloud

My Mk2 VW Golf.

It had only had one owner before me and we both looked after it.

It only had a 1.3litre engine, but I loved it.

I bought a newer VW golf with a 1.6l engine, but it was never the same and the idiot who bought my car crashed it and wrote it off within a month.

RIP Sherman x

My very first car was a Mk1 Opel Manta, so wish I'd never sold it.

Same with my Z4 which I sold recently.

I've owned alot but for me the two that stand out are my 1965 split screen camper which I sold as a student and before the prices went crazy, and the other car was my last porsche 914 that was stunning.

Would buy both back now but probably couldn't afford either!

Late Mini 1275GT, pretty much a bare metal resto with some seriously tasty engine mods, so it chucked you back in the seat. Sold before the new mini was announced and prices were low, could probably trade it in for a decent Porsche 911 if I had it now
