I have a nice round one...think it came from a vaxhall vectra.....£3 for two from my scrappy....so i have one in my locost and one in my racecar
Why pay for bling when a plastic one will do

Same as MikeR - Volvo - comes complete with the mounting bracket to mount vertically on the bulk-head.
Seem to recall it was a 7 series but they should all be the same.
Cheers, Pewe

I have a volvo 740 (?) - it is nice and rectangular so fits into a corrner nicely. I dont have it fitted but if I do, that is the one I would use.
plus it is made in Sweden.
