I have owned quite a few cars over the years but this is the one that i was truely gutted to sell 

Now that must really hurt  
I feel gutted for you 'Atomman'.
You must of felt seriously proud of owning one looking as good as that one!    

But look at the positive side (if there is one) you haven't got the running and maintenance costs now either.

i remember seeing this porsche parked in mumbles a few years ago,absolutly stunning mate

1275GT, actually a 1310 with twin 1 1/2" SU's great induction roar. Took me a long time to find the alloys, original Dunlop D1's pretty damn rare. Slightly ill fitting bonnet but i loved that car…….. Once the Golf's done a clubman will be my next project, happy days

That's a little Corker 'Jinjar'.
Had a Mini but nothing like that, always fancied one though!
Mine was a 1967, just an 850. Drove it till the Butt fell out of it, well the front floor to be precise.

This one

 it was blue with a white roof when I owned it. Had to sell it about 20 years ago. Then saw it one morning when walking into NEC in 2005 to help on our club stand at Classic Motor Show. Was nice to see it again

Thanks Guy's

It took alot of work to get it looking that good, but in the end i was a bit scared to drive it incase any thing happened to it,

But im loving my Golf now and with its new engine its alot quicker than the porsche was

I nearly cried Mike when it was driven away after selling it. First time I had heard it from outside the car and it sounded and looked fantastic!    

Happy memories of it though

This is my big regret  Still miss it! 

Tidy looking XR2 Chris - you don't see many of those about now

It was mate, she had twin 40s on, and u re-bored 1.7 Kent engine with performance cam so it went like a greased weasel! Funny thing was i sold it in 2007 and saw it on ebay about 6 months ago!! was gonna buy her back but shed been really neglected and stripped of all her mods!! Wasnt happy

Oh gutted, that's a shame.

I saw a v. quick silver one at Retro Cars Show, Santa Pod last year. I'm not sure what was under the bonnet but it flew - made 130-140mph from memory on the 1/4 mile!

Nice one!
Don't know exactly what it was about the XR2 but they were fun to drive.
Can't really put my finger on it other than to say they had there own little character!
Which is more than can be said for many of the pocket rockets of the time.

Like it.

My first car, MK2 Polo 1.3 Coupe Sport, brakes were rubbish, steered like a tank and cost me a fortune on insurance but I loved that little car, was really sad to see it go!

That's where my first VW bug bit!

Yeah I remember them well.  

We used to say that if you wanted brakes, you should have ordered them as a factory fitted extra.
I think that's why the steering was so heavy, they didn't want you to steer it off a straight line and therefore require to much in the way of stopping power!

Mike.  

Haha yeah too true, definitely taught me how to drive by watching what was going on ahead of the car in front of me and to take stopping distances into account in that car!

Thanks Mike. Yea it certainly was a cheeky car. They had quite a unique exhaust note aswell.
Chris

was having a bit of a root around today and found these,thought i`d lost them years ago..made me regret selling them again
