When I bought my Scimitar I had the chance of an AC 3000ME .... was more expensive so passed on it ... really enjoyed the Scimitar but have regretted not owning the AC more than a few times since! 🙂

Mine has to be a 1275 Cooper S, I was 20 and had a 998 Cooper which was a hoot and whilst looking for a replacement I got diverted by the charms of open top motoring so a 1275 Midget it was. I think the mini might have made those romantic entanglements a little easier though!

In 2006 I passed over on a slightly tatty DB5, asking price £29,750. My wife said the mortgage had to come first.

Never owned a Ferrari, a Dino or 308GTB were desired at the time. I did spend a fair bit of time hands on with a 400i, wonderful engine, but other than that I was not impressed much.

There was an S2 Esprit I offered £1500 for when the guy wanted £3k, I should have offered more.
A real Audi Quattro was never quite affordable either, would have been a good punt by now though.

In the late-1980's I decided to view an orange TVR Tuscan (classic) like this one. It was a long drive from the New Forest to Norfolk, and my wife wasn't impressed that I left at very short notice as she had started preparing Sunday lunch. I didn't buy the car (what a missed opportunity, there were only a few niggles), but I still recall with a chuckle that she threw a hard boiled agg at me which hit me on the neck -- she said she had ovulated... I think she's almost forgiven me by now.... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2024/08/22/TVR-Tuscan-orange.jpg)

Alfa Spider Series 4 is one of them for me. When I first fell in love with the car I simply could not afford it. Now it's a matter of being a tad put off by the can of worms I might be opening.
The other being an air-cooled 911. As with the above, it would likely be cost prohibitive to own one.

1982 having just bought my first house (in a house share agreement) for £25k, decided against a DB6 at £4,200. It wanted some bodywork attention.
