FS:Europa ashtray
« on: Thursday,November 22, 2018, 11:33:54 AM »
I decided to clear out some of the parts that I've collected over the years. This is the first of the two or three extra ashtrays that I'm selling. Look at the pictures carefully. The ashtray is in fairly good shape. It is complete with the base and the often missing clip. The plastic is sun bleached with a small crack on the front. The chrome has some pitting on the base plate and the cover but overall, the ashtray is in good condition, probably can be reconditioned by an expert. This is the ashtray in the worst condition. The remaining spare ashtrays are in better condition, so will be asking for more but still reasonable price

Asking $75 and will only sell to members who have posted on the forum. I plan to sell the other extra ashtrays later on next year. If you need an ashtray but have not posted to the forum, all you lurkers out there, start posting  :), at least introduce yourselves.

In an idle moment, I decided to hunt unobtainium in its native habitat.

Ford Zephyr Mk2, in the middle of the back of the front bench seat.

Sadly they have the breeding characteristics of a dodo.

There's a joke about smokers in there somewhere...  ;D

When Zephyrs were used as taxis, the passengers used to leave their tips in the ashtray.

I'm amazed that a new one can be had at all!
