I have my old S2000 carbon spark plug cover in my model display case.
I made the pattern, mound and part by hand so couldn't give it away with the car.
I still have the mould too.

Alfa v6 inlet valve from the engine in my dax, in the glass topped coffee table. And 4 candlesticks made from the old camshafts and pullies.

Nope, no way I'd get away with any of that - bought a load of racking from Amazon and everything's stacked up in the garage waiting for warm weather

Not in my Lounge. But I have a door of a MINI JCW WRC rally car that Kris Meeke crashed. Have it on a wall.

Two Lotus Exige seats in the dining room. Keeping nice and dry until I get the rest of the car back together.

1 * Rv8 wine rack
4 * Ohlins dampers and springs

There is probably lots of other stuff I have forgotten about

A broken VW Golf Mk3 Clutch Actuation Lever that decided to crack, thus rending itself useless, in the middle of the French countryside, now sits on our mantelpiece.
Once I got back home (thank you RAC) I removed it from the gearbox and polished it up as a memento of a great and eventful holiday.

A Brake pedal (without the rubber, just the nicely sculpted arm) from a McLaren F1

I have a brand new, unused con rod from the 4.4 litre JCB diesel engine.
Perkins?
No. JCB built their own engine some 15 years ago, coincidentally a lot of it is similar to the Perkins. They also have a 6 cylinder engine as well now.
You'd be surprised how many still do though.

In my lounge are a clutch for a Fiat coupe 20 vt, some sort of tweeters out of a 20 vt. A model of a fiat 20 vt.
Also a limited print of original publicity for the fiat coupe..

In the kitchen there is a fuel filter for a coupe 20 vt. Also 2 exhaust flexi joints for an Audi Quatro. Alternater for a Renault camper van. 2 oil filters for a Nissan tipper truck. A pair of rear calipers for a Fiat 20vt. An oil filter for a Honda and an oil filter for a Peugeot 406 estate. That's all without checking.

An LED control module from a BMW, from this years Spa 24 hours, from where I found it I'm guessing it came off the BMW Team Italia car which crashed at Radillon.

E30 M3 gearbox under the dining table. Mind you, it needs to go in the car so it'll be out of here before Mrs E21 spots it.

Nothing in my lounge, but I have a pair of leather Porsche sports seats, a968 Club Sport rear 'seat' and a set of mint early type sports seats in my study. I have an MX-5 NB2 leather trim in my lounge on a carpet offcut, as I lost my garage keys last werkend. Shortly to be moved into my garage as I have since found them.
