Never been lucky enough to find anything of value in a car I bought. In fact quite the opposite as I once failed to spot the car I just bought was missing a driveshaft and the spare wheel...

My last discovery had the ashtray full of change, found it whilst stuck in traffic on m25 and it was about £9.
The best was my recent donor discovery brought for £200.
In the back was its old broken gearbox with working transfer box attached.
I made £275 from that alone.

bugger... i just sold a working disco g/b and t/b for £100 ... maybe i sold too cheap!?
Found a load of injection needles behind the dash on the 90 - although i think it used to be owned by a vet so not too surprising.

Transfer boxes are worth £100 when working, I actually charged £150 including fitting.
Was left with broken gearbox and broken transfer box which both went to a company that buys them to refurb and sell on. Both parts were another £125.00 so yes my broken parts were more profitable than your good ones.

I used to work in a bodyshop for an insurance company, some cars were written off so paid out to the owner and sent to auction....being the yard man I used to clear all the valuables out before they went, anything unclaimed was mine.
God knows how many sat navs, loose change, torches, tools, spares, amps and subs etc etc
Found literally a bootful of CD wallets, poor car was crammed full of CDs, all good stuff aswell!

i found a nice 3/8 snap-on ratchet and extension behind the drivers seat of my 90, in decent condition, and a mighty fine south american panpipe CD.
