Sadly we got too cocky and tried to jump it off the lorry loading ramp with 4 of us in it. Somehow we didn't die but all 4 tyres burst and the engine mounts broke so it wouldn't drive any more - it's not like that on TV :-\
I did exactly the same thing with a 1972 Datsun 1200 B110 Coupe, back in 1980.
Bought by me and my mate for ?50 all in, aged 12 we ragged it around the fields all summer, rolled it and then jumped it off a loading ramp and killed it. Then we tipped it over the edge into Pant Gwyn slate mine, which was where all dead cars ended up back in those days, here:

Current value of a Datsun 1200 Coupe? Around ?12k for a nice one.
The previous year we had done the same thing with a 1957 oval-window VW Beetle.
Current value....?25k for a nice one.
Then there were the countless Minis and Escort Mexicos that we bent. Oh god, the waste!!
