Common on Aston Martins (though perhaps "common" and "Aston Martin" are mutually exclusive) however my mother inlaw's 2002 Focus has a signature and date in white painted neatly on the aircleaner housing, the date coincides with the car being built.
Anyone else come across this?
Regards.

Bentley Arnage as well, not sure about Continental range.
|
AMG enigines too I think, although there a great many of them and I don't think they are 'built' by one man.
|
|
Though why a 2002 1.6 auto Focus?
|
Because it was the only one ever made?
|
If it's on the air cleaner housing then it's not really on the engine - they'd be very separate assembly operations.
Perhaps it's some sort of final quality control sticker?
|
|
Could have been through re-work at the factory.
|
|
It is not a sticker, it is a very neatly painted signature and date.
|
What, a bit like a carving in a park bench...Chaz woz here?
Perhaps some refined graffiti.

Put it on e bay - it is probably worth a fortune to some idiot. Last week somebody sold a very obvious table leg for £36 on e bay and described it as a WW1 Sopwith Camel control column!

Link to joystick = table leg - you judge!

It may not be strictly motoring but one of the best EBay items I've seen so far.... brilliant!
I know you don't need proof but here is what a true table leg looks like.

It is obviously the "plug in version" (unless there is another means of securing a table leg.)
|
More like an early plug and play peripheral device !
Spotted on my much missed 330d was a suitably Germanic name written in biro on the reverse of a boot mat, I also found a still wrapped German Toffee under a front seat behind the First Age stowage in the same car.

Thanks for that cockpit picture! I was amused to see the houehold light switch in there! Probably for one of the megnoetos - those were the days!
