One of yesterdays posts got a few replies mentioning cars we had owned in the past and it got me thinking:
What in your youth or perhaps not that long ago, did you have offered and refused.... now wishing you could have seen into the future.
Although loads come to mind my major 2 were...
In the early 70's a total mint condition, one owner, low milage Mk 1 Lotus Cortina, think it was about £300 and I could not justify the astronomical insurance of £75 a year .
The other was about the same time, a relative who crashed his motorbike, he was so sickened he offered me it for free and because it needed new forks and front wheel I decided I would be daft to spend all that money to repair it ...it was a Vincent 1000cc
Todays value of the 2 would probably exceed £60k
