I don't know if it was from Moss or not, but I know I've seen a cupholder
designed to go on a carpeted transmission tunnel.  It had flexible "ears"
with Velcro strips to conform to the hump and anchor to the carpet.

Still, I have to admit the idea of carrying open hot coffee in a TR3A makes
me nervous.  They aren't exactly the smoothest riding of cars, and SoCA is
famous for it's bad roads ... no matter how good the holder, seems to me
that a bump at just the wrong time could net you an eyeful of hot coffee.
The "travel" mugs I've seen will squirt a jet of liquid if they are about
1/2 full, and you jerk them up and down hard enough (like hitting a
pothole).
