cigarette lighters

[FC P/VAN]

which model fc's had the cigarette lighter in the ash tray on the dash top??

was it only fitted to special's??

just wanting to find out if the lighter in my p/van should be there.

Yep only fitted to specials - available as an option on all other models.  The ashtray without cigarette lighter has a metal plug in it which is pushed out when the lighter is fitted. Ash trays with the metal plug are getting a little hard to find now.

Ash tray lighters are not available in the market now but I have collected few and still love to collect good ones..

I can understand why ashtrays with metal rings are becoming hard to find. I can't imagine many ashtrays in any model were without a lighter given the percentage of smokers at the time.
Now you get a plastic cover marked 'power' instead of 'lighter'.

Like how did you charge your i pad or i phone or tablet or gps back then without a lighter outlet ? ;D

It was even more frustrating busting for a smoke with no lighter.

Naah, frustrating is when the lighter gets a little bit loose over time, the kids play with it and it jumps out, red hot, and rolls onto the floor :o.
