Look What I've Found.
« on: 11 August 2012, 18:07:41 »
Some of you may recall a few weeks back I asked what's the most you've found in a car, money etc.
Well today I decided to remove the seats & carpets from Burt & give them a good clean. Seats out, vacuum cleaner in.
Then it was the carpets turn to come out to get the shampoo treatment.
I was tugging on the driver's side carpet when what I thought for a second was a brass bush dropped out the front of the center console (next to ash tray).

Turned out to be this

I thought platinum insert too. I've been thinking how to view the hallmarks & I remembered when I was a kid I used to remove the eye piece from my binoculars to view insects up close :y
Off to have a look :)

might I suggest applying for the car's history from DVLA and contacting the previous owners to see who's lost one ?
