Don't be hard on yourself. None of us could afford to keep them all.

My 1971 VH 770 Valiant..318, auto power steer...

My 1976 Centura 245 4 speed....Got rid of it because it fell on my head...15 years later, missed them so much, I bought another roller and fitted a warm 265 with 4 speed....Get constant offers of $5K, but knock them back....Even had a tossbag offer me $10K and a2007ish Pajero, with it sitting in my driveway.

Oh and VP...Bought a 200,000k example for the daughter about 6 years ago for $700...Really clean and tidy unit...She sold it to fund a house, but knows the new owner....

I regret selling 3 RD 400s in peices for a lousy $200. These days I could sell the same parts on eBay for $5k -$6k. But back then people used to dump them for scrap as the value just wasn't there at the time.

I really regret selling my 93 5L VP HSV ENHANCED CALAIS. I owned it for 15 years and was my daily driver. Sat in my back yard for 3 years after it ran out of rego. Only sold it because i needed to fund my project car which has turned into a Money Pit. Smh
