nice suprises!

[JonyTVR]

whilst clambering underneath my new chim fitting an up-graded starter motor I was shocked to find some shiny new GAZ adjustable shocks fitted! I knew the rear and new bilsteins on and had briefly looked at the receipt which totalled up to several hundred quid but couldnt see the fronts when I inspected it. Happy days! shame I ran out of light though to finish the starter motor!

So what nice surprises have you ever found on your car?

I found my car has HC written on the plate under the bonnet where it describes the engine, and on the V5.This was a surprise as I had bought it as a standard 400. When I took the engine apart to rebuild,engine number as per V5, I found it was the totally standard 400 I thought it was.

Is this a suprise ?

Also pocketed pistons and bigger valves, I believe.
