Only car I miss is my 1st car which was a 2L Ford Capri fully loaded as it was one of the last in the capris production run.
Me and the missus had some great times in that car when we 1st met ;-)

Sold it for peanuts to fund the alarm in a Astra GTE after the insurance company had negleted to tell me I needed when quoting for the Astra.

Only car I hated was the above mentioned Astra which to this day has made me vow never to buy a Vaux/Opel brand again.

Of course, if you really miss a car that youve sold on you can allways buy it back if you see it up for sale.

For example I didnt realise how much I missed this one till I drove it home once the deal was done.....................

i remeber my dads 760 well... was the first car i ever drove and only down to a blowing manifold that needed the head redrilling and an auto box on its way at not far off 300,000 miles he sold it to the first person that saw it.

previous to him it had had one owner since 89 and it was a family friend who was a retired dentist

F885 NST local registration too- was a blue 760 gle estate V6 with full tan leather and even the wood dash with door cappings- ive only once seen these on another 760

saw it a year or two after he sold it and was looking rather sorry, up till that point in its life it had NEVER been smoked in and to my disgust as i looked in the window the ashtray was overflowing! checked dvla recently and it appears that its been "off the road" since about the time i bought my car, i think it would be safe to assume its dead or rotting away... i miss that car

still i have a slight feeling that someday ill buy a near identical 760
