But since selling the car i have no idea what happened to it and i became curious this evening as to where it has ended up...the great scrapyard in the sky, tucked away in someones garage, or still chundering around as a daily driver

Regrets, I've had a few.
Regret selling a 300 series? I sold one of mine to scrap and never looked back. Holes in the sills, doors and wings. Hand painted Hammerite one summer day by moi - and then drove it away wet so it looked like a furry seed bank. Leaking petrol tank - I could only put 15 litres in it maximum otherwise I may as well have put the rest down the drain. Different brand tyre on each corner and the carb was leaking like a sieve - a 1.4 Renault unit eventually down to 14mpg. Ran it like that for ages [er, a year....] but when the heater blew in the middle of the winter, that was it, I killed the car. I mean, a 300 without a heater? That's their main attraction!! Actually that still took me a month to do as I waited for the MOT / tax to run out - had to drive in more thermal layers than if I'd been standing outside in the cold such were the drafts. I did offer it to the 300 community, but for some reason nobody took it on. Wimps.
To be honest, I think you'd have to be fairly down in the dumps to be forced to sell a 300 to raise cash. Is that what you mean by regret?
Sorry got to go - Kerrang are playing Paranoid by Black Sabbath for the 97th time today, so I'm going to take a hammer to the radio.

Waxing
...carry a photograph of it around with me at all times. Had the registration number tatooed on my forehead, and carry a vial of its oil around my neck.
Now my old 66, give you, I wax about that man! Oops, kleenex moment.
