My 1974 Hilux had a .22 round in the fuse box. I did buy it from an old farmer so it was probably a quick fix that lasted 20 years.

I Found a 1/2 a bag of pot under the seat cover of a $200 Cooper S I bought in 1983.
I handed it in to the police of course........ Sold the Cooper S for $1400......

My biggest surprise was finding out that the basic "LS" shell I brutalised into a powerful winged beast was originally something called a "Sunshine", & they only made a few hundred of them. I had no idea they existed, until it was too late.

Handgun bullet under the dash upholstery.

Bullet or the whole cartridge?

The bullet would be the lead or copper bit at the end but a cartridge would include the case as well...

This goes for the other post too.

Yeah sorry meant whole cartridge, assume prev owner had his gun and/or ammo sliding around on the dash parcel tray.
:shock:

Cartidge was marked 101. What would that be for, Rifle? Handgun?
