Update!
I thought it best to finish with an update.
I've now fixed the cup holder following this method. Many thanks for the idea and post. Gotta love a happy ending! |

Every 75 left the factory with one cup holder on the passenger side as standard. The drivers side one was optional. Connoisseur and Connoisseur SEs don't necessarily have both. I have 2 Connie SEs and each only has the passenger side one. |

Connoisseur SE driver's side
Neither my Connie (2003) or Connie SE (2001) have a driver's side cup holder. I understood that only the early 1999 Cowley cars had the extra cup holder.
Regardless I'd be interested to know anywhere I can purchase one because I want it. On a manual they'd get knocked with clutch shifts but on an auto you'd get away with it. |

A new member called malagas posted up he is from Portugal. You could try him and ask him to keep a look out for you. Just a thought. All the best Phil |

Only the passenger side of the ash tray seems to have one. I thought that someone had glued the drivers side shut. But I'm thinking now that it only has one in the front??

An excellent fix but I find the cup holders not much good for anything but a 2002 era small size coffee. I have modified a cup holder from a Ford F-150 to hook onto the passenger carpet. It will hold two modern size coffees, water bottles, soft drinks or Yeti tumblers.
