The one on the passenger side of a RHD UK spec car is standard in all cars, but as Devilish rightly points out the driver's side one is an optional extra (and now quite hard to find)

They can get stuck on occasions, are you sure you don't have one on your passenger side then?

drivers side cup holders are rare,i have had two of these and they are pretty much useless,the drivers leg is in the way.
The last walnut drivers side cupholer i saw on ebay sold for eighty two pounds..

Go to e-bay in the European countries, their passenger's side cup holders are our driver's side cup holders!

You should get them a lot cheaper I've done deals on e-bay before from French and German sites and no problems, just ask the question, "How much to send to the UK?"

Then it's your decision

Mind you I'm a little surprised you don't have one ? ................

To open the passenger side cup holder.i had to open the cigar lighter,pull off the cup holder cover and with some difficulty i pulled the cup holder out,maybe it has never been used,but it wont spring out even with the cover off,any ideas on howto free it.
