My list of cars I regret selling has some similarities.

-02 D2 (first and only car owned from new)
-87 RRC (which I installed a new Disco 3.9 short motor)
-83 RRC (an Aussie assembled CKD 4 door in Holden Satin Green)
-79 Holden Overlander
-74 XB Fairmont
-74 XB Panel Van (optioned with GS Rally pack, rear mattress/cushions, curtains (naturally), and the fibreglass side cupboards and esky)
-70 XW GT (in Starlight Blue)

Interesting that all but 1 in my list were fitted with V8’s.

Truth be told of the 15 cars my wife and I have owned there was only 2 we were happy to see the back of and both were Ford Telstar’s (we each had one before we met - actually not bad cars but just boring).

But yes - not keeping the XY GT HO PIII would be hard to live with Tombie. I feel your pain.....

Easy, all of them.

.....TR7 too...but the V8 was a goer and often raced esp in NZ.

Raced in Oz too early 80’s, sponsored by Barclays Bank.

What a line up! Obviously a man of character and taste! I doff my hat to thee.

And if you owned them all now....phew...nah I won't make you think on that one......

Ones I did like & wish I still had .
Morris Minor Convertible
FE Holden
HQ Holden
HD Holden ute & X2
Rover 3500SE
2 X 1949 Rover P3 75
1967MGBGT
1925 Dodge
2 X 1950 Land Rovers 80" ( one had been extended 1m with duel wheels on rear)

The list of wished I'd kept is sad..
1982 RRC 2door
1969 VE Valiant slant 6
1972 ZF 302 fairlane
1975 XB 302 4spd GS sedan

Surely you are having a lend of us - all with the exception of the RR to the tip if they were mine - I learnt to drive in a 68 VE Valiant - hard to keep it in a straight line.
