its amazing nearly every car in the past ive sold you end up regretting........ a beetle jeans very rare only gave £200 back then 1972 early reliant bond bug fetching a fortune now & countless motorbikes but ive grown to 4x4 love terrano nw

yeah e let a '63 morris minor go for £200 in 1984 as a trade in for a more
practical mk 2 ford escort estate.

had been in family from almost new, spent fortune few years before on
a restoration, unfortunately by cowboys. was lovely old thing, even
learnt to drive in it on cough private roads but wasnt upto motorway
trips. few years later would have made my first car too, think i spent
about 250 on another scabby escort estate as mum had bought an
automatic maestro. so no good for passing test in.
