My first BMW some 20+ years ago. The 323ti Compact 3 door.
2.5 atmospheric straight 6 with a manual.
A little edgy and tail happy (due to the chopped off boot), hydraulic steering rack, Bilsteins, Recaros and light by today’s standards. Feel and feedback in spades that doesn’t seem to exist anymore in fairly normal cars these days. Man I loved this thing… 
My first house and a few ford RS cars
A friend had that exact same car. I drove it a few times and it was an absolute hoot to drive on twisty back roads. I almost bought it off him when he sold it on but was too wedded to my Golf GTi.
Not really a regret because in each case I moved on to something new and shiny, but if I had the spare cash and room to store,I’d have the LP12 back, the Lotus 2-11, the BMW SA 333 and the BMW E36 Alpina. Modern cars are faster, more efficient, and more comfortable, but I have good memories of each.
Same here. Traded my Nait 2 when ‘upgrading’. Shoulda kept hold of it 
Family friend had one of these, on his business travels during the late 60’s through to the 80’s he would turn up at our place each time with a different car, all sorts from fragile sports cars to a Roller.
During this time, I believe he always kept his Karman Ghia and an early Mini. Nice!
Doesn’t surprise me, they are as lovely to drive as they look.
Mine was a 1600, twin carb and independent rear suspension one, which made a real difference to the ride.
The guy I bought it from specialises in KG’s and camper vans. He does a couple of trips a year to the states to find good examples and ships them back.
He snagged Hugh Hefner’s all black one with original paperwork for the bill of sale etc.
Easy my Nakamichi Dragon!
I had a mint H reg one, cleaned it after every run out regardless. Sold it in 1995. Still very much missed to this day😔
Just sold mine
…Then bought a Nak CR7 and sold that ,bad move
I sold my 42.5/HC/140 chrome bumper system, although if I still had it I’m not sure where I would use it. But I still wish I had hung on to it.
I also sold a ca. 1986 Afromosia fluted LP12. At first I had some regret, but it was entirely too fussy, badly out of tune, and there was no readily available Linn dealer to support it.
86 carrera
This thread suggests to me that people (let’s be clear, Men) have more of an attachment to cars and motorcycles than they do to items of HiFi, either that or they tend to keep their HiFi even if it is in the loft!
Not necessarily usually you upgrade your hi fi so there’s generally not as much regret. However a lot of people sell the car of their dreams for a lot of reasons like family, financial and change of circumstances to name a few.
the piece of hifi regret selling due to space is the glorious and oddly styled Michell Allecto monos and Orca pre amp.
I have attachments to brands, Naim, Technics , Michell, ClearAudio more than specific bits of kit.
Naim to me have been wonderful for their dependability where products and back-up are concerned
I think that many blokes are like this, get attached to brands becoming very tribal at times and yet reading many of these threads, Naim owners seem to be ‘right up there’ when it comes to being serial box swappers!
