Items lost under passenger seat - Reason to Sell?

[mahju]

The black hole of the passenger seat strikes again... I noticed a piece of paper under my passenger seatjust poking forward, and turned out to be this;



Laughed out loud when I read it... guess the last guy sold to the dealer under the common lotus 'baby forces sale' reason.

Quality - on my S1 I found a pound (thus reducing my purchase price) and a security pass for Cambridge airport

I found a 50p coin under mine

I reckon theres at least 50 quid under my seats, must get them out if I ever sell it.

Before my friend sold his car he removed the clocks and put a note behind saying "Oh no, not again!"

The lumbar inflator bulb was missing for the driver seat when I bought it. Found it under the seat a few days later

I had some foreign money, petrol receipts and a half eaten sandwich which was white with furry mould...



....the elise smelt so much better afterwards

Not in the Lotus but many years ago in my wifes then MX-5 I had reason to remove the passenger seat. Amongst the usual fluff and rubbish were a couple of photos of who I assumed was the previous owners girlfriend.

Uninhibited would be the best way to describe her on a public forum

I almost bought a car recently which the vendor had a request on. It seems someone had lost an expensive ring down behind the dash, and so he said the car was to be sold only with the express undertaking that if I ever took the dash off, for whatever reason, I should recover the missing ring and post it back to its rightful owner.

Well, if the ring were that expensive, surely he'd have removed the dash specifically to get it back??

Didn't walk. Ran away.

I keep a troll under my passenger seat... useful for winding people up over on the SELOC site.

My wife, possibly purposefully, continually leaves items from her 'utility belt of beauty' that then slide from one side of the floor to the other, but never stopping at a point where I can pick them up.I have been close to ripping the underside of the tub off.

I was so sick of this that I have laid a continuous rubber mat under the seats.Sorted.

[S Works]

I know for sure there is at least £2 available for retrieval in el beast. £1 that found its way under the steering column shroud from one of the coin trays, and £1 which has somehow jammed itself under the handbrake shroud between the seats. CBA to take it all apart to get it out.

When I bought my Elise, I found a couple of pennies, a pair of sunglasses,a book and some candy that had melted under my passenger seat .And there's still something in there, just cant get to it.

I found a roll of 35mm film under my pax seat- thought there may be some "interesting" pics ( blackmail content)on it so went to have it developed, but turned out to be blank 80(

Dunx.

My Elise still had the previous owners Lionel Richie cd in the head unit. Thank Christ I saved the poor car from listening to any more of that!
