I'm sure alot of us have had some good finds at garage sales, swap meets or the like. I thought it would be good to see peoples favourite finds. So show us ya fav Mini related parts or odds and ends that you've found.

Here is mine. It's only small, but it's a brilliant period accessory. It's a lucas switch mount and will be in my 850 when it's done (gunna be a period resto/mod with modern touches hidden away).

Ah yes... I think my 1970 Van with 6 months rego was a good find at $400!

Though whole cars aren't what I was getting at. The little unusual odds and ends is what I was meaning. 8)

When I updated my wiper I bough a kit from Minispares which contained
a set of Stainless Steel wiper hole plugs. As they were not required on my my Mini K I found another use for them.....
