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
Off to have a look

4g, 9ct, made in Birmingham in 1956 by the maker OPM

Might be worth more than the car.

Might be worth more than the car.

By my calculations, between £40.00-£50.00 so nearly

[albitz]

Close.

Nice find ...off to rip the seats out mine now

I can see Omega owners all over Britain removing seats & carpets tomorrow

Have you seen these guys in your mirrors at all? 

[waspy]

No Chris. Enlighten me

[2woody]

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

[feeutfo]

Woo, thank god.
