Darrell,
I also went through this same issue myself about 6 or 7 years ago. I
have a 1961 (62?) TR4 CT288L that someone had replace the original
aluminum dash insert with a vinyl coated one. Being such an early car I
figured it should have the earliest of ash trays. However a three way
trade between myself, Andy Mace and Brian Sanborn provide me with a very
nice aluminum one. But it had the rectangular ash tray as well. I
searched high and low for the proto type style with no success. I
finally decided that was just what it was, a proto type and until someone
shows me one in there car thats the way I'll treat it.
