Most treasured, most precious thing

[Keith Webb]

After posting the picture of the gearshift boot it started me thinking... what is the most treasured CMP item I have ever found?

Or, in all the years I have been involved with these vehicles, what is the most amazing moment of discovery you have ever had?

I can think of several on both counts, one where I involuntarily let out a gasp of amazement - and that is probably the only time I can recall that happening, but I'll save that until later in the thread after I hear your experiences.

I've been photographing, researching, building and collecting since I was 16, around 40 years ago, and the most amazing thing is I am still discovering CMPs which are every bit as good as those found then.

Anyway, please feel free to share your experiences of the magic of finding that special something, and if you can please post a picture too. I have a few treasures to reveal, but for starters here's another pic of the gear lever boot.



People might think it weird getting excited by an old piece of moulded rubber, but when was the last time you saw one of these on a vehicle?

Over to you now...
