When I was about 28 I owned a dark blue jag xjr with ivory interior. It had everything on it, was fast af and smooth as silk.

People used to come up to me and tell me how nice it was. I loved that car! Got rid of it to get an estate for the bikes

My Ldv Pilot

I converted it to a camper and I put a turbo engine in it.

Was silly fun, not fast but always sideways. Spent many a night in Snowdonia in that old thing.

If it has to actually be a car then my V6 Xantia. Shed looks but ate most of southamptons boy racers and it was so comfortable. I used to love the looks of sheer confusion when it surprised badly modified cars. I say that as it wouldn’t touch a decent properly modded car or a proper fast car.

Since I'm not a big car fan. I miss my 06plate Corsa Sxi+ 1.3l, bucket seats and fairly low profile. Quick off the mark. £30 a year tax. I would probably still have it if it werent for the fact it was a 3 door, and with a child on the way the boot space wasn't big enough.

Had about a dozen Capris, used to buy and restore them just for the fun of it. Gave some to family/ friends and in time let them all go when time changed and needed family cars etc. Often look back now and gutted I ever let them go

Still see pictures of one online... Spent a week restoring it before going to a Capri run in Blackpool and taking pics of it there. It did look beautiful and since then, it seems to have become a stock pic that people use. Even featured in a piece about Downton Abbey in the Viz once.

I had a Mk1 Gokf that I wish I could have kept, but it wasn't practical to use every day, I do a lot of miles, so was just sitting in the garage. I sold it about 5 years ago and at least got quite a bit for it.

My previous car was the hugely underrated Peugeot 607, one of the last sold in the UK and top spec. After 225,000 miles it was still immaculate, especially inside, though cost quite a bit to keep on top of mechanically and electrically. On the inside, it could easily rival some of the luxury executive saloons of its time (7-series, S-type, etc), but was much less 'show-y' on the outside. Still looked great, but more anonymously elegant than brash like a BMW or Merc.

It was getting very hard to source some parts for though - at one point I had to have a whole new set of air-con pipes made from scratch after one burst.

Toyota MR2 Roadster.

Fiat Punto 1.2

I actually haven't sold many cars, tended to crash them or run them till they dropped. But the MR2 is one of the few I did in my penniless student years.

Used the money to pay for bike lessons and drove a 306 DTurbo for a while instead.

The Punto I missed so much I actually bought it back and gave it to my mother. She drove it for a few more years before eventually it's floor couldn't be patched any more.

Great cars

Honourable mention to my Rover 25 L series diesel. Didn't sell it, wrote it off, but among my favourite cars.

I agonised over parting with my first car - an old Ford Capri - but I think that was largely because it was my first car - but ultimately, I don't regret moving on from it.

The one car I DO regret getting rid of was my 1989 Sierra Sapphire 2.0i Ghia.

Had it 3 years and was a fantastic car - one of the best cars I've owned - though probably comes in 3rd place now behind my current 2.

Top of my list is a car I've owned for 20 years now, my 1996 Pontiac Firebird.

If 2 wheeled vehicle count, My Sunbeam S7 motorbike. Sold it when I got my first car & instantly regretted it. Would have been worth a bloody fortune now.

My MK1 Capri 3000gtxlr. I got it in about 83/84 I paid next to nothing for it and the insurance ended up costing more than the car, took a hacksaw to the exhaust and removed the silencers. I'd hate to think what it would be worth now but it was great fun, I sold it when I got a Granada 2.8 Ghia in Seychelles blue.anothe I would still like to own.

My Honda Accord Type R in that gorgeous aubergine black, with the picnic table spoiler on the back! Loved that engine. Only downside was that it ate tyres for breakfast.

I had an mgb with an oselli 1950 fast road engine, was a fantastic car to drive and would surprise some of the hot hatches off the mark

Early 90s had to get rid of my astra convertible as it was costing more in getting the hood fixed after jelous idiots kept slashing the roof.

"My 1982 XR2 bought new, a proper fanny magnet lol"

"My fanny magnet "

How are the female readers polarised over the subject of fanny magnets?

Presumably such magnets all needed

Registered 'keepers'?
