Ok,
Of my Migs owned so far, the things that I've "inherited" are as follows:
On my old 2.5 CD Estate the instrument panel light wiring had been re-arranged/bodged to disguise a problem that brought the EML on. It was the Emissions Purge valve which is a pig to get at, but apart from that easy enoug to fix. As bodges go it was very clever.
On current Elite, the previous owners kids had managed to get an entire McDonalds happy meal under the back seat - complete with receipt. It had been there for 18 months before I bought the car! I discovered the "fosilised" remains when I took the back seat base out :(
What have you found with yours :question
-
Knickers!

My first Omega, ex Devon and Cornwall plod WA51YNG, came with its own personalised Shell fuel card, which expired the week before I bought the car. ::)
My second one, ex Thames Valley plod OU54AEW came with a bundle of unused TVP evidence tags. 8-).

With my previous mini-face lift, got it on a Sat morning from down Croydon way. Swmbo & me spent the afternoon cleaning it out although it was pretty tidy) in the boot we found a full colour picture of previous owners wife ... STARKERS ! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Recognised her because she made me a cuppa when I went to pick it up that morning.
Thought about posting it back-- ended up putting it in the service history folder ;D ;D ;D ;D
Thinking about it now, it could have been someones Missus from on here :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
Any SWMBO's match up to about 35years old, , 38 -24 -36, dark hair & with a Brazilian down belo. . . . .

Bought mine from a dealer and when checked pockets behind front seats i found previous owners bank details in a folder. It had a loan application for his business, business account details plus all his personal banking details. Sent it back to him by registered post with my contact details in case of any queries saying where i had found them and didn`t even get a reply to say he had received it ok :(

Only the customary 20p stuck on a seat runner and a lack of service.Loads of rust and tyres that had been down to the cord on the inside as the wishbones were knackered.The front tyres had also been put onto the rear axle rather than get it fixed as they were also down to the cord on the insides :o

Nothing in the Omega (it came, valeted, from a dealer) .. but on previous cars:
Japanese coins and a packet of Japanese cigarettes (in a Japanese import car)
The cam angle sensor (so.. fairly important!) attached to the wiring loom with spade connectors & bits of wire just twisted together with the main loom..
CEL lamps removed (which reminds me, I know the CEL works on the Omega now as it just came on! d'oh)
All sorts, really ;D
