They dont make them in cars anymore, as the majority dont smoke anymore. I believe it used to be an option.

Keep to the topic which is NOT the qualities of smoking.
There was a "smokers pack" option. This may be available from Ford as a spare part but will probably be rather expensive. Originals from the wreckers etc. will be rare as rocking horse poo although there is an idea for a backyard business.... |

The smokers pack option used to be available from Ford Spare parts at dealerships when the BA came out, which was the first model without the ashtray. It came with a lighter as well which replaced the power source socket, which is why Flappist said it was expensive.

someone i know just used an empty coke can because he didn't want to pay for an ashtray in his new ba when he bought it.
edit*** if the 'ashtray' is just a lidded cup that goes into one of the cup holders than maybe try hyundai or other manufacturers - my wifes new hyundai came with one. or as others said try a wrecker

As mentioned above, here's the Smokers' pack for the FG on ebay:

I've seen these "Smokers pack" options come up on ebay from time to time....
