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. Tim |

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

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) ![]() ![]() ![]() [Dangerous device really, if you think about it, if pushed in and forgotten] |

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