No, you only got a cigar lighter /cigarettes too if you bought a Triumph
saloon
priced above that of the Herald/Vitesse/Sports 6. Something to do with
an
up-market specification? In those former 'class-ridden' days I suppose the
product equipment specifiers argued that with the cheaper cars, a box of
matches
was more than enough :)

The
trouble with using a Spitfire to hawk GPS systems is that there was no
cigarette lighter socket installed to power the system.

We were
shopping at our local Costco (a large bulk item store for those of
you who
arent familiar with the name) and as I passed by a row of GPS
devices,
something caught my eye. I glanced back and sure enough, on a
poster board
about three foot square, with a Tom-Tom GPS attached to the
top of it, was a
large photo of an early white MK4 Spitfire on a country
road. A full three
quarter back right side shot, about two feet long. I
of course shrieked to my
wife, HEY DEAR, LOOK which caused a few people
to suddenly look over to see
what I was apparently so excited about. They
probably thought I was excited
about the GPS but we all know what I was
really looking at!! My wife of
course noticed that it was occupied by two
girls, silly me for not noticing It
was pretty cool
