Not a classic at all but before I got into C4's I had an A4 B5 quattro sport that I really regret selling, it was a great car and very reliable. The UrS4 made that feeling go away pretty quick though!

I've got two, 1982 VW Golf GLD, 5 door. Cracking workhorse, well over 200k miles. It had been imported to the UK in RHD and had a much higher spec than diesel Golfs available over here at the time.

The other is my Audi 100 Sport, with all red rear lights and Ronal alloys, just a lovely car.

Both we felt had to be sold as we could not afford to keep them running, young, busy jobs and no time. Sometimes you don't know what you have got until it is gone.

Only two that I regret selling, but at the time it was probably the right thing to do

1. 1982 B2 80CD - my introduction to five-pot warbledom

Sold to make way for a B3 90 2.2

2. 1990 BMW E32 750i - 5 litres of V12 waftness, fabulously engineered, every imaginable toy available (in 1990) and the wrong side of £60k when it was new (more than I paid for a house in 1990!). We had it as a third car at the time and sold it to pay the builder when (current) house renovations didn't slow down. I'm not a fan of modern BMWs at all, but this was sublime - and I only paid £2k for it.....

Certainly a much better car than the one that replaced it.

Having stopped counting how many cars I’ve owned (well over 100) it will always be my 80q saloon in mars red, A474 KKC gutted.
