    Sorry, not helpful I know.

    There is a story that Claude Ballot Lena was admonished by the marshalls at LM in 1968 for lighting up while on the Mulsanne. Guess that means a 68 TR did have a cigarette lighter!

    Claude was a real character, and one of the nicest guys around. When I was a struggling neophyte, the bartender in the French Auto race drivers club introduced us. He and his wife would invite me to lunch with them there many times.
    Lots of great advice for free.

    One of the few non smokers, and the first fitness crazy racer, was Stirling Moss.

    Were the RSR delivered with a collapsible spare tire, and a compressor?
    If yes, then they need a cig lighter to inflate it.
