50p... and a Mercedes dealer's business card.

So I'm guessing the previous owner switched to a Mercedes...

I was using Bro in laws car a few yrs ago while he was in America for 3 months. On cleaning the car before giving it back, I found a load of microscope slides under back seat. He said "I was lookin for those before I left ". Hope they wern't important, I never asked but he does happen to be a pathologist !

I found £1.20 under the passenger seat along with a green crisp which had started to go fluffy. in th boot I found a blue wax crayon which half had been rubbed into the carpet... now cleaned off at last! There was also a load of wood chips under the rear seat and a wood resin stain on the passenger seat.

The first ZT, I found the business card of the guy who drove it whilst it was a lease car - so I e-mailed him and he had the second key and transponder tags!

I remember about 10 years ago when I had the headlining changed in my MG Maestro 2.0i that had been in my family since it was three and a half years old, and finding a sweet wrapper lodged up there. A check on the web found that this particular brand of sweets was discontinued in 1990, meaning that it must have been put in there on the assembly line.

Perhaps a DNA test is in order to find the culprit.

I pulled mine apart and found zilch, nothing, niente. Must have had a very tidy previous owner.

Among others I have found half a packet of condoms in a 75 and a set of false teeth fell on me from the passenger footwell on a Mondeo.
