I was curious if anyone has found "nuggets" left behind from prior owners of your XK? I ask this because, after taking my car Jag to the car wash, they found an expired credit card apparently from the first owner.

 

*****.

 

You cannot be serious. Don't touch it, you never know where it has been.

 

Hopefully, that car was owned by a woman!

 

Moar, are you suggesting it included the 'nuggets' that the original poster referred to?

 

I have a really funny reply about it being in a Jaguar but if I tell you it would get me banned for life or worse. I'll leave it to your imagination.

 

What could be worse than that!?

 

I found a **** mag under the drivers seat of my XJR. As I had the email address of the previous owner I asked if he wanted it back but he said that I could dispose of it!

 

Not the Jag, but I did get a sweet 4-cell Streamlight (flashlight) out of the door cavity on my Aunts VW. She complained about the rattle, and when I showed her what was behind the door card, she let me keep it...

A small Swiss Army knife, one of those "disapearing quarter" sliding magic tricks, a quarter and a very deteriorated piece of hard candy.

They were under the back seat. I removed it to run the antenna switch loop and replace the foam surround on the sub-woofer.

When I bought my car, the previous owner had left all 6 of his CD's in the changer. Nothing to my taste though, so just binned them.

 

I found a recently spent 12-gauge cartridge under the back seat of my S-Type...



I'm hoping that it's unrelated to the rotten smell in the boot that required the carpets to be shampooed....

 

At work I regularly find bullets in cars haha

Although I do not own a gun I am starting to have a sweet collection of ammunition.

There is one car I bought recently for parts that was full of clothing and college books in the trunk.

 

My XK was first owned by a Titans football player. I found an Drug Free Sport Athlete Specimen Processing Form, for that player, under the passenger seat.

 

This isn't something left behind, but after I sold my first XF I observed that virtually every address in the sat nav memory was the home of one of my daughters' friends. So it might look a bit creepy that a Jag is full of the addresses of 14 to 16 year old girls. And when I got my XKR (which was pre-owned) the sat nav was set in Italian.

 

Not a Jag, but a car I owned in England had previously been a leased company car used by a bank manager. However, I suspect his wife drove it most of the time because I removed the rear seat to reveal a large and rattly treasure trove of hard plastic children's toys.

 

Beatles CD. Seemed appropriate.

 

I had a 77 Corvette and pulled the dash to put in a new heater core in. A 1977 quarter was taped inside the heater duct. I thought that was interesting. Had a 1976 Corvette and it came complete with little funny cigs under the ash tray.
