nothing interesting, had a mondeo with some coins in between the seat and the centre console, jumped in and instantly slid the seat all the way back and heard all this change drop, drove down the road and had a look and found about £10 worth of pound coins and about 10euros worth.
Found the usual stuff in other cars though, spare light bulb kits, jump leads, warning triangle etc.
Not found no porn/knickers/knives/guns though... Maybe depnds on the cars? Expect cosworths/range rovers from the 90's you could of found alsorts..........

a couple of the guys at my old work found a block of hash the size of a mars bar between the seats on a school bus we were stripping out.
never found anything in cars, but stripping buses and trains i've found a lot of loose change, notes, gloves and a few needles.

Money, never more than a few quid, found a few extacy pills under the seat of a corsa GSI once we cut them in half put them in some chips and used them to kill the rats in the garage

Worked in a main Ford dealer, with a Valeting bay, the trade-ins would be stripped of stickers/ items etc for the cars to be resold, any items found were offically to be left on a "special" shelf, if these items were not claimed, the person who found the item/s got it there was some competition to be the 1st to clean out a car
This shelf was "chocca" with goodies - tools (including snap on) CDs cassettes, phones, stereos, jewellery etc, 2 brand new tyres, toys, bundles of keys, wallets, cash - someone left £1000 unclaimed
Bad stuff - Sick - a dog had been sick in the back of a car - it had been cleaned but the smell was still there - guess who got the job of finding out where the smell was coming from?
Piss - a pregnant woman had been "caught short" and pissed all over the back seat/s, (presumably no policemans helmet in sight!) instead of keeping sitton the sodden wet seat, she gets out and sits on the passenger seat (so that needed cleaning too) - no problem - stick it into the local valeters!
Wild Mice / mouse shit & piss - Mice had nested in the back of a Fiesta - the mice were gone but the smell was not, even after it had been cleaned many times, half a day was spent stripping the back of the car and jetwashing it inside, twice, then disinfected
I gutted the back of my Mondeo out and i found an new unused, boxed condom well hidden (its had a full valet loads of times) in the trim under the back seat, its not mine, ive had the car 8 years, the car originally belonged to a married man with a family - must have been stashed for "emergencies"

I bought a Chevette estate a few years ago (1998) and while giving it a clean I found a pair of glasses, a wig, a nappy (clean) and a pair of nickers complete with skid marks (nothing sexy, old lady apple gatherer style), and loads of straw.

A friend saw that a local trading estate was being demolished and the whole area was cleared of all cars and deserted except for one old car that looked like it hadn't moved in years. With it being of special interest he took it.
Once he opened the boot at home he found pictures of African women doing naughty things amateur style, 2 plane tickets unused, cash, and various other dodgy items. By all accounts the car went in for repair then the owner got banged up and never returned to collect his car.
Another one I saw was about 20 grand in a bag but that had to be returned once the previous owner realised.
Best I've currently found was a country cd and a pair of glasses with a broken arm.

I bought a Clio of my mates gf, and under the front seat was a pair of red thongs... 
I took them back to her and she made some comment about going to the launderette and them dropping out. Yet in her kitchen her washing machine was going around and around

My mum bought an xr2i years back and there was a wallet with 125 quid in it, nothing else in it so I expect it was a deposit of someone who looked but didnt buy it

A guitar tuner in an Astra gsi
Various hand tools/cd's etc
A defibrillator
A pair of jeans
Stinking knickers
False nails
Various items of footwear
Cheap and nasty gold slags chain (which ironically my boy found and said to his mother "is this yours?" which it wasn't,not looking good I know but she knew I'd just bought the car so was in the clear!!!).
Oh and a plastic mini cock and balls on a long thin plastic stick which had gone a bit mouldy from being up his missus bum no doubt.
I left it in the car for the next owner who was less than impressed,but saw the funny side!!!

a mate of mine bought a astra van with at least 10 different sets of number plates under the floor we think it was used for fuel running as it had a huge tank in the back that the owner removed before selling

No one has mentioned the obvious which is crumbs of weed / hash in the pull out bit on recarro seats..... I thought it was a standard feature of every rs turbo in the late 90s!!!
