it seems odd that theres an ashtray but no lighter
:?
Oh the ciggy lighter socket is in the center consol behind the handbrake where the electric window toggles are, where my switches are is where the broken clock was, i could have fixed it, but my cd player had time/date on it so i put the switches there, I might have to remove the ashtray when i need more switches space, all these extras that non smokers dont need...

no, the little tray beside the handbrake on mine has been replaced with another panel, up the front is the 2 rocker switches for the windows, at the back of the panel is the ciggy lighter.

Is Tom's car missing about 2/3 of the heater intake vent that's under the slits on the bonnet or is that just the angle. At least compared to my recollection of mine and that picture of duvel's?

There are different models, 2 air intakes on older models (=> 1985) and only one air intake (1986 => 1991)
