What kind of things have people found under the bottom part of their back seats. I pulled mine out to fix in my speakers and found $3.63 ($2, $1, 50c, 10c, 2c, 1c)
The mini is starting to pay itself off.

Oh and some old sticker thing with "Disney Copyright 1981" on it.

Nice bit of history.

What have other people found.

i found a note to some girl from around the mid 70's reminding her to bring the cake when she comes to dads...

there was another phone message for her down a side pocket which had the mid 70's date on it ^L^

i found 64 cents, my horn, the cover of a 1982 Austalian Post magazine and the longest sholace i have ever seen, it must have been from a really high pair of 80's basketball boots or something!!

_________________

i swear the woman that owned the car before me was using the back seat as an ash tray or something........i took the seat bottom out and there was this layer about 2 cm deep of ash/sludge

but i found a few dollars when i cleaned it out as well as some reciepts etc (assorted crap)

oh yeah some plastic toy, sorta kinder surprise stylee, only about 20 years old

I found really old copied ACDC tapes and assorted rock bands, 20c piece, a whole heap of tools including some nice old stanley pliers and a nice old socket wrench handle, some old parking meter stubs, a pair of REALLY old surgeon gloves *PUKE* and the best thing was...

when i took out the cooper style dash to repair it I found a VB stubbie bottle top! it was rattling there for ****** ages!!! couldn't figure out what is was!

Max Sherry (of Mini Mac) once told me he bought a Clubman for wrecking for $50 and found $183 of $1 and $2 coins under the carpet and under the trims in the rear side boxes.

You've gotta be kidding bnicho! Jesus, the owner must've been a silly bugger, or an old lady that kept dropping her coins.

One Mini I bought had a 14" MotoLita steering wheel (with boss) under there.
I's re-covered and in my car now..

The car had been sitting in a paddock for years. I guess the owners did not know the coins were there.

Max reckoned they must have spilled a bag of coins of on the backseat at some stage and not looked very hard to find them all!

And I thought I was lucky just finding the original owners handbook

I found 53c....ripped off i reckon!! and a heap of NAILS!! Must have been owned by a builder...lol

When I was young, my grandpa owned an HQ ex police Kingswood. He was taking me and my brother to the beach one day and i was in the back....bored. I stuck my hand down behind the bottom seat and pulled out handcuffs and a syringe!!

I was only about 8 ish but I remember it very well!

Do you mean under where you can put your hand? Im talking about where the base sits on the sheet of metal.
I doubt all that stuff would fit between the base and the metal sheet.

oooh... look who's getting picky about the rules...
