The ad below, is from “The Autocar” magazine, August 1960, and features an essential accessory for the smoker motorist; the automatic cigarette lighter.

It is not clear what method is used to light the cigarette, and appears quite expensive at 43 shillings and 9 pence, which is about $95 in today’s money.

It would be interesting to know how many were sold. Has anyone ever seen such a thing installed in a car back then?
