For those who have the tiny compartment above the main glove compartment what have you got in there? I managed to put in a small furry coin holder where i can access loose change for parking. Whats in yours??
Now, now, Peterg, you can get loads of sweets in there ( with a bit of planning) and I also have a microfibre cloth for wiping the fingerprints off the piano black finishes. And sunglasses. Really, it's pretty big.
I don't like using it because every time I open it, it leaves a finger print on the piano black trim! Not really much point in keeping a cloth in there to wipe the finger print off, as when I press it closed the cloth would be inside the compartment.
I have the piano black and solve this through forward planning... Have a soft snooker type felt glove in the big compartment which you put on to open the little one.

I bet you still had your 1962 Cooper?
My first car was a 1971 Mini Minor that I wrote off when I was 17.. Very sad times.
Always remember the windscreen wash was a foot operated push button on the floor and it had a dynamo instead of an alternator!!!
