MK1 Escort Mexico with full RS500 conversion god she was quick!!


Now that's something I regret NEVER owning!
Cracking car that!

I also had a love affair with:

The Mk2 RS2000  :mrgreen:
The lancia stratos Alitalia  
The porsche 911 martini racing  

Mike.  :tlc:

1972 Beetle and then wasting all my money thatg was supposed to go towards restoring the golf.
My recaro fishnet seats

hmm tough call, its either my 1983 cabrio with KR:


or my Kar98k 'mountain trouper':


probably the kar98, I doubt I'll ever be able to find another one, and if I could it would cost far too much money!

?
Has anyone tried to get these items of love back, if so at what price?
Just what would it take…?

Mike.  :mrgreen:

Hmm this reminds me of a very amusing story involving 2 army lightweights and 48 crates of Tiger lager ,however the MP's may still want to question me about thet so ………………….. :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

My cab was up for sale a wehile ago but I just couldnt afford it! would have definitely had it back otherwise

My first Mini  Ghosty.   was a hoot to drive.  sold it because i needed the money to buy my Clubman.  

My Mk1 1.1

Was my 2nd MK1 wish i had not sold it…

I sold this to buy an Audi TT which I regretted buying, I still miss the Polo, it was such fun to drive and went like stink! I sold it for £900, the only thing that makes me feel better is within 3 months of me selling it, the gearbox went, HT leads died, and the thermostat housing split.






That made quite a nice noise!! ^^^
I would still have it now if I could, admittedly it wouldnt have bright green wheels, but at the time I had a thing with bright colours!

I sold my Ex work's Rally Mini Clubman over 20 years ago, about 5 year back I was at the Classic Car Show and it was at the entrance fully restored by the person I sold it. I was informed that it was valued at £27,000  

sorry for the quality of the picture

My M3 Evo which was built to perfection (IMHO)

Mods list was immense, and (again IMHO) was the best looking M3 cabrio in the country

Jacob,

I feel sick just reading your post Mate, cracking car that!
But you know, hindsight is a wonderful thing.  

With hindsight, I would of payed attention to my Teachers in Schol a hol lot more and not Sharon's legs.  :mrgreen:

Keep the posts coming on this one as I love reading what we all miss, in hindsight.

Mike.  :mrgreen:

Jon I can't believe you sold that mini mate. Bet you were in tears when you saw it.

My oval beetle it  was a big project but I should off kept it

GOT any pics mate?
let us share your pain!  

Mike.  :mrgreen:

my 5 turbo

this is my regret:



sold it for a measly £1100, it was worth a lot more

there is a silver lining however, just picked up my mk1 and have a whole new chapter ahead of me

I feel mine is yet to come, as I'm going to put my Mk1 up for sale in spring  :cry:
