Not sure where you might want to mount it. Didn't the MGA have a cigarette lighter? My more modern 67BGT has one that actually works.; /html/mgs/2004-06/msg00635.html (8,396 bytes)

Re: Electrical MGA (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <mvheim@studiolimage.com>; Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2004 10:26:36 -0700; Ashtrays were optional (it may have been dealer installed, since it was the same unit that was available in Triumphs). But we were really discussing the cigar lighter, that was non-existent. -- Max H; /html/mgs/2004-06/msg00639.html (8,495 bytes)

There's little perceived need for an ashtry (on the part of the manufacturer) if there's no lighter. My 68 MGB had a lighter and an asht; /html/mgs/2004-06/msg00643.html (8,370 bytes)
