Alfa Montreal
Jensen Interceptor III

Actually that's about it really. I have enjoyed lots of my cars but only really regret selling the above.

E30 M3 gone 5 years now but I really don't want to talk about it!!!


Also miss my '63 UK RHD Devon Spitscreen camper. Hard work done but sold to move to errr Devon!



Managed to keep my Mk1 RS2000 so it's not all bad.

I sold my 4.0 litre Jeep Wrangler YJ to raise a deposit for my Porsche 911 in 2007.

I immediately regretted it, I missed it so much, but fortunately I had sold it to a mate.

Unluckily for him, the engine went pop soon after, as I had previously hydraulic locked it fording a huge lake type thing on Salisbury Plain

He dropped in a new motor and then did loads of work on it, suspension lift, locking diffs, body lift - all the trick off-road bits.

He called me last summer, and told me he was selling it out of interest. I went straight round his house and bought it back. And I gave him a good price, which helped to eradicate the 'blown engine' guilt

I had an immaculate 1985 M535i.

Sold it to a bloke in Holland a couple of years ago.

Should never have parted with it.

Arctic silver 328i coupe. Even though i sold it to upgrade to the evo, i miss it. It just looked right with no spoiler in that colour. Very purposeful yet understated.
