Have you ever....

[RFChris]

,,,,found yourself thinking about your old motors and the thinking about one in particular.....and wishing.....

 

THAT. YOU. NEVER. SOLD. IT! :sad:

 

I know its in good hands now (OSF Member: Dealy) But still, just clearing out my old pc and found all the pics. Sigh.

 

 

...my Cortina better be good. It has some big silver boots to fill!

 

But anyway, what were your 'cars that got away' so to speak....

 

Discuss!

I wish I kept my mk1 fezza. I don't even know what I did with it O_o

[Wessie]

luckily i've never had to sell any of my cars but my mk1 capri might be for sale shortly due to a possible new project . . .

[MK5]

i had a heavily modified 2 door MK5 Cortina that i lost in a custody battle with my ex

 

[orionmojo]

i nearly scrapped my orion, then it started straight off after standing for three months, so i put it back together

 

i know it doesn't elp you, but i did like that car, looked really purposeful and not a trailer queen

[bomber1]

gutted i sold my mini van 1st car on the road as well the twat that brought it off me buggerd the clutch then scraped it

I wish I'd never sold these two, the 2.8i was a mint 45000 miler when I sold her in 96 and the GXL was years of painstaking work and cost. Sold at a huge loss too

 

I had the chance of buying the 2.8i back last year but it had turned into a 125000 mile dog so I didn't bother. The GXL I'd buy back tomorrow if I could track it down (what was I thinking!! )

Yeah my Cortina 2.0 Ghia which was my pride & joy but had to go to fund my Capri. Did loads of work to it and was very sad to see it go

 

Sold to a good owner though who sold it on himself after a year of re-living his youth!

 

Present owner has it on his website http://www.sarkiesparkingspace.co.uk/

 

Here's one of the pics I used on Auotrader

My bro knew a guy who had a mk2 rs2000, he kept trying to buy it off him and he said no, in the end the guy let it rot then scrapped it

[Wessie]

[Rick]

[Wessie]

i kn ew a mk1 tina, when i was bout 12 i used to knock every couple of months to see if he wanted to sell it and he always sai 'its work in progress' it was fooked and must have sat in the same spot for years, well lasy year it passed me on the back of a scrap lorry (i assume it was the same one)

[erick]

The only one I have regretted selling was PKT759M a sebring red mk1 mexico, would like to know if the old girl is still out there.

[fezza]

I sold this a couple pf years ago and i wish i had kept it

 

But then i made way for this,which i also wish i had kept

 

And now it looks like this

 

And im more than likely to regret selling the RS2000 when that goes glutten for punishment
