Has that got dual ashtrays?
Yes - and they look like Innocenti items to me, I've got a couple in my Mini spares stash somewhere.I don't think my new-ish Audi even has an ashtray. The Quattro has a nice big one. The one on the TR is handy storage for the screws and washers that appear on the floor .

The gear lever looks identical to the one in my Aston. I guess they copied Aston, being even rarer Does it have the 5sp ZF with dog-leg first ?
Having driven but not owned RHD cars with the ZF dog-leg-first five speed gearbox and finding it cumbersome, driving a lefthand drive car with the same box was a revelation. The awkwardness of the gear change I found in RHD cars just disappeared. I see that it was designed for LHD cars but I was surprised what a difference it made. If you own one in RHD you probably get used to it. DickyC said:
