and which do you regret getting rid of?

Of all my cars over the years I would have the following list:-

BMW 750i V12 5.4 - Comfort with speed and all the toys of the day
Jaguar V12 XJ-S - Again all the comfort and speed
Mitsubishi GTO V6 3.0 - No comfort (hard as fook) but brilliant fun to drive
Jaguar S-Type Tractor - Nice all rounder in terms of comfort and performace

My biggest regret was getting rid of the top two and certainly the XJ-S which has increased substantially in price since I owned it

Has to be the Chevette HS. Then the 24V Senator. I think I will miss my 190D if it doesn't outlast me as it has character.
I'm trying not to get too fond of my current 3.2 Elite, as I have a short bucket list of cars I want to own before settling into senility.

My mk 2 Zephyr & Ford Escort Mexico. Both be worth a fair bit now.

Has to be the Cosworth, Sierra Sapphire, G Plate RWD, Ebony Black, Full Leather inside, the very last of the RWD's (last 50 from memory) before they went 4x4 were all a special production run of Ebony Black.

Only Mods it had was a 4x4 Vented Bonnet, and the usual, ECU Remap, Green Injectors, upgraded Turbo and Actuator bringing up to around 300 BHP.

Toys, didn't need any, the whole car was a Toy. 

Sold it a few years back, got my money back but therve shot up these days, probably would be around the +10K mark today.

Omega. And not just saying that to be a tit. It is the best car I've owned. Make of that what you will

1984 2.0S Capri in Caspian blue. Aside from a dent in the OSF wing, it was straight, rust free and tight to drive. I quickly fitted a fuel injected Pinto from a Sierra(including buying the Sierra I spent £170 on the whole job), which when fitted with a Kent FR34 cam would outperform a manual 3.0 and still do 40mpg on the motorway. And that was important, as I did about 90,000miles in the three years I owned it. With some very basic tweaks to the suspension it was properly balanced and rode well too


It's the only car I wish I had never sold.

'84 Granada 2.8I Ghia X manual. Scrapped following gearbox failure

Sat on the drive for two years before I finally got rid.

Yet to own my best car ever, although my white Omega was like putting on a pair of well worn shoes... Just right.

I had a mk1 1600GT Capri many years ago. Never liked it from the first day I had it. It was totally reliable though, I will give it that.

I owned a 1974 (M) 1600XL Capri MK1. White with a BVR.

Looked good, Drove like a lorry.

Cambelt snapped but no harm done to the engine. Just lucky, I suppose.

Not lucky at all ...... the Pinto engine  was a 'safe engine'
