I found these this evening. I don't know how long they have been slinging around the drawer for though!

They say they're made in Japan! Better quality than the Chinese ones.

He was still B.E.P Spares in the 80s and probably into the mid 90s.

Nice! That is the sort of thing that looks great next to the ashtray when a car is on display.

I guess there was a lot of demand for matches and lighters back when everyone smoked.

Ash trays and cigarette cases were popular give-aways too. Maybe John can come up with a Mini King e-cigarette, for the vapers.

In addition to the fancy lighter pictured above the BMC Dealers could also purchase book matches as a promotional item.

I found this little jigger in a bunch of parts I'm sorting out for a 1935 Alvis...I think its an after-market accessory! (as it is not in the wiring diagram) :shock:

Morris and Leyland were very 'Pro smoking' after all they gave your kids an ashtray each in the back seat.

That's very cool, but you couldn't plug your mobile in to charge it!
