Thought this may provide some easy typing.
What are some of the things you found when you dragged your mini home, that weren't factory fitted. Here's what I got:

25 cents
Gold watch
300ml of magnetec oil
500ml of fuel additive
Small shifters
Assorted nuts n bolts
A small black cushion
Spare carpet

What have you all found?

A handful of gravel in the rocker gear... yet to find out if the engine ran after the gravel was put in. I don't think it did, so may not be damaged (Egine was out of the car when I bought it).

The van - 7/16 sidchrome socket in the door, lots of spares.
The Moke - zilch - it was a bare shell.
The Traveller - old rego papers, lots of bits and pieces. I haven't really gone through every nook and cranny yet.

Max Sherry (Mini Mac) told me he bought a Clubby once for wrecking for $50 and found over $200 in gold coins under the carpet, under the back seat and in the side pockets. :D
