Regrets I have lots but this is my biggest
Hi guys I was just having a look through my folder if bits and I saw a advert the garage gave me when I bought my car it's the car in the photo. It's the car I think mist about and must admit I really really miss it. I've never really felt like this about a car. I love my 75 no doubt about it but I was such an idiot getting rid of my zr.Here's a picture of it it's a 1.4 105 + model and it had proper half leather sunroof and a 160 bodykit. Just Reading sikelshs step son wanting one made me think about it. Now I'm off to have a little cry for what I can describe as the most funcar I have ever owned.

Do a bit of detective work Thomas, try and trace it and buy it back if it means that much.

Start by contacting whoever you sold it to, and so on.How long ago did you move it on?

I sold it about 4 years ago to the garage I bought it from also I bought a 160 zr from them but have no feelings for that one. I remember when it like it was yesterday the owner wanted to give me £4500 px but had the person I was dealing with arguing with him saying this car is better condition now than when it left the dealer the first time in the end I got£5000 back for it.

I love the yellow mk2s I bought mine when the empire went down it was 9 months old and had only 1949 miles on when I bought it. Are you on the mgzr forum?

I regret selling most of the cars I no longer own... Rover 827si, Rover 2000TC, Austin Maestro 1.3HLE, Vanden Plas 1500, and the Saab 900 Convertible which I will be putting on the market tomorrow!

it's one of these things though, when you look back you only remember the good times. It's like when I got my my spectrum out the loft a while back- wasn't as good as i remember!

Why did you prefer the 1.4 to the 160 Thomas? The 160 is much higher spec and can be made into quite a little rocket.
