Found this toll road ticket from the late 60's in my van during restoration.
It got me wondering if any other interesting finds have been unearthed!?

 
I was only thinking the other day that someone should start a post like this! Can't wait to see what people say ha.

We found some lego (of course) and a pink sponge in the front panel to 'absorb any leaks'...!?

I saw a post on here that someone had a cool story about an old chequebook they found in theirs. Can't remember who's post though...

Found very little in mine. I do remember either this forum or Just Kampers that someone imported a bus and there was a stash of drugs in it. He or she had pics and everything, although by the look of the stash it was very old and unusable. I shall try and find it
 
We found a letter in the overhead locker.

For the sake of decency I won't go into the contents here, but it's suffice to say the PO and her three friends had a much more adventurous private life than I do :lol:

If only vans could talk.... :?:
 
I found a few interesting things

a couple of hundred bucks...



and a Francisco Fernandez fake ID kit, which might come in handy one day :msn4:

And of course the obligatory baccy pouch :D



 
I found a load of stuff in mine, i have a pic somewhere.

It included an old cheque book cover, a book of matches and some other stuff from Vegas and Reno and a prayer/bible remnant - my imagination makes me think of an owner with money and gambling issues who is praying for redemption :lol:
Also some fire crackers, coins and a tape copy of Harvest by Neil Young. When it arrived it also had a period portable toilet. I didn't keep that.

I do know someone who found a couple of guns in a van he imported! He handed them in ...
 
would be great to add a picture to our VANTIQUES ROAD SHOW thread Clem!!
 
I found a packet of Dr soggs legal highs that went out of date in 78 they were wedged under the knife and fork draw. I bet they wondered what the hell they had done with them lol
 
I found a load of coins in the ashtray.

A golf ball marker from the Spanish Bay course at Pebble Beach.

A crazy golf token

And a zippy lighter with a 'Strategic Command' badge on the front and engraved on the back that it's from Cooke air force Base California.
