Thumbs up 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!

"if any at all"

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.

Default 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.

This idea is a long shot, but it might help you. Several years ago, I bought a drivers side cup holder from Trimani - R.I.P. (Alf). Alf had bought it from a batch in Portugal (OEM and brand new) and he sold it to me for 50 GBP. I have found it to be of use when I am out driving and pulled over in a lay-by for a coffee.

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

Try Ebay Germany or similar where a seller will post to UK and search for driver side cup holder

Same as the phone holder.

Were both actually fitted to top of the range vehicles from the factory?
How many cup holders is my ZT supposed to have in the front?
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.
