[TR] Lighter

[A Daniel Cronin]

2/21
Had a TR3B for a number of years in the early 70's that had ash tray and cigarette lighter which was located in the lower right hand side of the central gague panel---thru the vinyl "lip" in the corner.  Looked very proper with a small chrome bezel and unobtrusive knob.

Hi Folks,
    The new Moss catalog shows an auxiliary lighter for under
dash mounting.  They give the impression that it is a "period"
accessory, is it??  I would certainly like one as a "power-point"
for cell phones, GPS, but would the Judges agree??

Sure, why not? At least since 1972, when I bought it (and probably 
dating much further back), my soon-to-be-sold 1960 TR3A has had a Casco 
cigarette lighter in the dash. Very likely it was installed by the 
dealer or by the original owner, in or near where the OD switch would 
go. But then this car also has the supposedly so rare and valuable 
"factory optional" ashtray.
