I missed the Saxo VTR I had as a teenager because I loved it, but... Citroen (eww).

I have a 20 year old Toyota now and as much as I'd love a cool, newer car I know I'd regret it because it's cost me virtually nothing over the last 10 years.

A Peugeot 205 it was a great little car, had it for over 10years, use to be able to throw that thing around without a problem and fairly nippy, really comfortable to drive over distances as well. Quite surprising how much you could load into it.

Any one of the three of my dad's 4x4 Fiat Pandas he had. Fitted with winter tyres they were simply unstoppable in the snow, getting us home at times when even Land Rovers and Range Rovers etc... were struggling and getting stuck.

My MG midget in Brooklands Green, fantastic fun to thrash down country lanes.

My mark 2 , 1600 sport ecsort ( I know that is wrong but you can’t spell it properly, the site doesn’t allow it ) with the full rally X pack. Again great fun, but kept getting stopped by the police!

My Jaguar XJR, best car I have ever driven but just could not afford to run it!

Series 2 e_scort rs turbo had a few of them but the last one I had I loved especially as spent time restoring it ended up very reluctantly selling it to a mate for 2 grand as had just had a kid and had no time for it made him promise to give me first refusal if he ever sold it but he didn’t and sold it on I still have the odd dream about it now

1275GT. Apart from it being stupidly rapid and a hoot to drive, as I completely rebuilt it with an updated engine- it’s now worth at least 10x what I sold it for and I could swap it for a half decent Porsche

1968 flat screen Beetle with a RAF roof, in British racing green and cream, with chrome piping.

The licence plate ended 'NGO' so I was tempted to add 'RI' at the front as he's my favourite Beatle.....

Our manual E87 BMW 130i

Yes, second gear was a bitch, but it was a proper go kart.

We then looked at a 1M and an M135i, and purchased the M135i, Second mistake!

We had ours 9 years and to be fair it was the perfect car.

Fast when it needed to be and easy enough to pootle around it then it could be used as a daily.

Shame someone crashed into me and wrote it off!

I'd be happy to have any of my old cars back, I liked them all, especially a 1980's very high mileage Mercedes, it was old and battered and worth very little but I loved driving it.
