Steven, I've finally gotten round to updating the photo of the earlier Cig lighter.



Does yours look more like the one on the left know? (notice the different pattern of the smoke symbol on the top, and the wider rim at the bottom of the black grip).

This new photo was taken from a Pre-launch 75 so I'm pretty sure it's the correct one finally.

Is the switch from twin horns to single hooter mentioned in the list? I searched recently and couldn't spot it.

Project drive and pre project drive. this thread is a good read, but i have spec on my car that was project drive and some to the bits are pre project drive, like its got bullets but didnt have drivers grab handle, the boot relase has the car on but the sunvisors didnt have lights, the bonnet latch is the claw type, so looks like mine was at the start of the penny pinching
