I found a .22 bullet in old Suzuki SJ413, I think it may have been owned by a farmer at some point.
£8 in change aint bad! That's extra cash you can spend on it ;D

I bought a P100 off my landlord at work and found £14 in change under the seats - he wasn't too pleased when I told him he'd treated me to a Chinese on the proceeds.
Another mate bought a MkII Escort once which strted to smell after a while. He eventually traced said odour to behind the door trims. When he took them off he found the doors full of used condoms. Nice eh?

I found loads of J coins and a Polaroid photo of what i can only assume was the guy in japan that owned my starlet when i broke it for spares. When i first got it there was a box to remove the boost cut and one to remove the speed cut behind the glove box and a turbo timer behind the dash!!

Hmmm
In £50 GSi3000 12V manual that had seen better days (it kinda explained hy it wasn't in the best of conditions but I only bought it for a few bits (offered remaining parts for free in the club and scrapped the rest)
- four vials of methadone and a lot of "used" syringes.......
- And a lot of tax discs behind the dash were they had fallen down - not one had the right reg mark on it!!!
Always find cash in cars I've stripped - in fact I bank on it making the car cheaper

I found a bullet under the back seat of a B-reg Mk2 Astra in 1996. No idea how it came to be there, might have been a fake for all I knew - but the previous owner was a right geezer And of course plenty of scuzzy barely-identifiable old currency and squashed sweeties. Nice. |

I found a St Christopher, two postcards of the virgin Mary and a signed photo of a priest under the rear seat of my Fiat 500 when it arrived from Italy.... I still have them all with the rest of the cars history.

I found some Green Shield Stamps and a ripped pair of bell bottom jeans underneath the back seat of my 100A.
The black sunny wagon was full of tiny nuggets of mice poo and my first car, a 1302S Beetle was full of tatty porn which at the time was an unexpected bonus.

4 bags worth of rotting leaves, mixed with 18 greasy empty oil canisters and what may or may not have at some time been a garden shed. A length of scaffold pole, the remains of an argos book and about half a ton of compost.
All this was in the back of my grey land rover when i picked it up, and still in it 3 months later when I MoT'd it ;D

I used to work in a breakers yard and have found all kinds of things in cars over the years. Some that stick in the memory were A full set of readers wives style photo's One of those flip out cosh things that the old bill carry. A photo of padre pio. An islamic prayer which is still somewhere in my toolbox. A large bag of skunk weed which i handed into the police straight away A dazzling collection of ladies thongs which hung from my rear view mirror for a few months. (Clean, I'd like to point out  ) It actually became a bit of a running joke amongst my mates. Every time they'd ask me where i got this or that from i'd just say 'I found it in a motor' ;D ;D ;D |

I found some metal in the bodyshell of an Allegro I stripped years ago. My Golf Mk1 back seat had loads of rotting food that the kids of the family who'd had it before me had stuffed under it. One of our Allegros had a cheesy "turbo injection" sticker on the back - you know, the one with the bonking rabbits. A little unlikely circa 1988 on an Allegro3 1.3 in pea green with a tan vinyl roof. Come to think of it I sorta wish I still had that car:) |

LOL, Most I have found was a partial homemaid first aid kit in the GT4.
A toy klingon bird of prey in my old Silver Saab (had a display stand so got stuck on the dash board)..
A red Power ranger in the Favorit.
And a pile of old Mouse behind the back seat in the Estelle.
Nothing unusual or interesting.
