Evening all got a question for you all here, thought be interesting.

Out of all the cars you ever owned, which do you regret getting rid of the most?

My dad replied either a Cortina Mk3 or a Ford Granada Mk1.
me it would have too be my first Ford probe.

Let's make it even more intresting shall we, out of the cars that you were offerd in the past, which one of those of offers cars do you wish you took and bought.

I was offered a Ford Granada for a £1000 pounds, it was Ghia and it was a 2.0 pinto block same as the Ford Sierra, lovely looking car and I'm big fan of the Ford Granada.

Just wish I had more money and more time and I regret not jumping for it.

I had the most beautiful MGC automatic which I owned for a couple of years, went on honeymoon to Italy with it drove right down to Pisa, Rome and then back to Rimini. It was the best car I owned and launched me into MG ownership. But for some reason that I will never understand I swooped it for a Lotus 2 plus 2 that the engine blew up two weeks later and no electrics worked. A year later caught fire on a country lane near Brands Hatch, by the time the Fire Brigade got there it was just a hole in the road.

This is now, and this car is real. It's a 2.8, It's on an E Reg and is in a Barn in Southport. It's Blue over Silver and has not moved since 1997, it's on blocks and it's stopped the rot getting into the car. The downside is that the owner is a recluse and is hard to contact, the barn is going to fall on the car in the near future. This car needs a £1000 on it when it's rescued but it's up there with the rarest and best.

In the late 80s we used to have a 1965 Morris Cooper 997cc in Almond Green, used it daily for a couple of years and then sold it for £1500

Oh how I wish we'd still got it

Still got Julie's Mini Pickup though, she's had that since she was 18. That's one that will never be sold

The one I regret selling was my MK 1 Sprite (Bug Eye).This was 45 years ago and I still regret parting with it.

My 1956 Morris Minor split screen.

With the passenger seat forwards my girlfriend and I found there was ample room

Then once pregnant we drove off in it after our wedding with all the tin cans attached from the back

Then I brought my baby son back in it when we left the hospital (nearly 18yrs old now

)
