ever wished you kept that old motor !

i suppose wev,e all been there ,had many cars in the past sold em never thinking it may go up in value or turn out to be a classic or collectors as time goes by.. one of my first cars was a beetle 1302s denim interior very rare called JEANS very basic i was young £150 changed hands insurance £43.00 yes 12mth cover , the car ment very little to me at the time as it was just cheap transport that suited my pocket but im amazed how much this car has increased in value over the years & being a jeans model in good nick would be bringing a few grand now... wished id hung on to it dam! !

There is a guy near me who has a GT6 in his barn.
He was storing it for someone for a few years and the owner has dissappeared.
The guy is going to sell it to cover the rent owed

I'm tempted, but the wife would kill me

I had a 3dr mk2 golf gti resprayed in Porsche yellow, full 'euro look'

Car was an 86 the year was 1998

It had a few problems like head gasket brakes and suspension knackered so I swapped it for a cav gsi

So many regrets about that
