I have yet to sell a car.
My first car was given some love by a Toyota Tundra.

I would love to have it back if it hadn't been hit.

Hindsight 20-20 I should have kept the salvage, I didn't have the skills or a garage at the time, but I do now.



I would like to experience more cars, but when I look at the cars I have there isn't one that stands out to sell to make room for something new.

At present saving for a nice bit of the country with a hanger sized space for cars has my priority.

Then another Jaguar, another Porsche, another Corvette, and add some Japanese cars.

 

I love it!! I had a Scorpio (Exact color as yours) for several years. Loved that car as well, but as you know, when they started having electrical problems, boy o boy lol.... Mine would randomly lock you out of the car when running.. I.e. run into the store with the car running, bad idea. Then it would just unlock then lock, unlock, then lock... Would only do this like once every couple of months as well.... Boy my wife HATED that car because of that...
Remember that the back seats had electrical adjustments as well....

 

Blue 1969 Cougar with Cleveland 351
Blue 1970 Firebird Formula 400

Neither was worth diddly back in the day. Not sure what they'd fetch now.

 

Sadly, I don't have a car from my past that I really long to have back, but I'd almost give up the XKR for any one of my old motorcycles. But then again, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is a pretty crappy place to ride around in a motorcycle, so my current reality is pretty good at swatting down nostalgia.

 

1966 Sunbeam Tiger is at the top of my list. Had that when I was in High School in 1976-77.



Followed by my 1990 928 GT Twin Screw Supercharged..


Last but not least, 1985 928 Euro S 5-Speed Twin Screw Supercharged..


Cheers,

Dave

Cars I've had that I don't ever want to have again:
64 Ford Falcon (3 on the tree)
68 Dodge Dart
72 Ford Pinto
72 Chevy Vega
68 Chevy Nova
96 Mercedes C220
78 Chevy Camaro

OK guys , great show now the hard part. Name only one (1) that you would want back.

 

1979 Thunderbird. I'd repainted it and cleaned it up a bit. What I never DID do is work on the drive train. If I miraculously had it back, I'm sure my memories are much fonder than the realities. It'd need an engine rebuild and no doubt the tranny wouldn't have a ton of time left either. The body and interior were IMMACULATE when I sold it (for more than triple what I had bought it for).
(stock pic, not mine. Mine was a gorgeous Highlight Blue Pearl with Baby Blue trim and top vinyl)

 

The 69 cougar. I'd fix the brakes, though I miss the challenge of clutch braking:-)

 

My Clan Crusader which being glassfibre bodied would have survived the last 40 years and would still be a blast to drive today.


While not a car I owned I always loved the opportunity of driving the TR7 V8 convertible when I worked at Triumph & would love to have one now but I'm not sure the body would have survived 40 years of corrosion.

 

68 Cougar XR7 Dark Green, Tan interior.

 

The one I would want back is the Cortina Lotus MK2. Great handling, great sound and very few people know what it is!

 

I'd like to have My 72 Mercury Capri. It was the size of a Pinto, and had a, 2600 V6, 4spd. and 3,89 gears as I remember. A top speed of 105 to 110mph, but it would pull 3 gears of rubber, and stop at the next stop light! Much to the dismay of the Trans Am boys. They couldn't believe it was faster, block to block, then their "Screaming Chicken"

 

love it, I had a 1966. I liked it but I wouldn't want it back 😁

 

89 Jacobra,
I had one as well, we called it the poor man's BMW 2002. But didn't they only get imported to the US for 1973 and 1974 or was it 1972 and 1973? The last year of importation got the 2.8L engine but had those large clunky looking bumpers, I had the one like your picture only in brown.

 

 

Super V8 (Daimler) 2005, X350 still the best sedan Jag has made to date, IMHO. I sold it in 2012 because I was offered a generous amount for it but wish now I had not, actually, regretted shortly after the sale.

 

My black 1999 Esprit V8. My wife told me as the buyer pulled away "You are going to regret this".
