Tuscan V6 Cigarette lighter

[lukebryan]

Despite being a non-smoker I feel I owe it to my dashboard to supply it with a cigarette lighter......we have all the other elements to bring it back to original except this and wondered if anyone has a spare or what they were from.....are they the same as Vixen ones......I have a feeling they were a little different from others of the period.
Any help and feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks, Luke

This Luke is the Knob and the chrome end that was on my Tuscan one it was so rusted to bits it was not even wired in when mat did the Car so rather than waste it the Knob and its base became the Glove box knob on my Vixen as the factory from what I have been told did the same certainly makes sense as they would then match up.
I have no idea what they where off or if they where an after market one that was available at the time

This one I found on the Webb looks a bit like it but cant find it for sale

Not a single one that's correct Mike
It would be interesting to find out what other car they where off of the maker as I have looked many times and not found them

Surprised that there are no takers out there considering how many cars have the wrong one £40 to get it right is not a fortune
