Amazing but true..!!! the cup holders for the drivers side are actually passenger side cup holders for Left Hand Drive cars...! I Think..

That's one of the easiest ways to get hold of one, but there did make a drivers side cup holder but stop fitting them due to warranty claims when they got broke from been hit with the knee.

Asked my friendly Xpart dealer for drivers side cup holder and had it in stock. Description on stock order label says only 'Holder-Cup'. Part No: FJl100140ANV.
They put it into stock 19/5/06 so was not 'old' stock !
Works fine in my auto but don't know if it is totally safe in a manual without some care.

Thats the trouble Crofts, most of the "Rare" items for sale on EBay are still available new from XPart and sometimes a lot cheaper like the Cup Holder.

Still can't get Touer Facelift Mud Flaps though!!!
Now they are Rare.
