At one time Ford used to fit them to the higher end of the range Mondeo/Scorpio either fitted in the glove box or more often on the side of the boot.When clipped in the holder the torch would charge up[if it had been used]or kept charged as you drove.Can't remember them stating a particular model or even having a Ford logo on them though.
Saw a car tootling along the main road near me today[I really hope someone can find a picture of one and post it on here-I'm not clever enough to do so]and thought WTF???!!! Turns out it was a Toyota Will IV and apparently there are 21 of them registered in the UK.Toyota designers must have been on strike the day that one was dreamed up.
Yes they were but that was a long time ago.Must say I think one of the best moves I've made with my Omega is to convert it back[they originally had a spin on filter]to the spin on type.
