I think that the joke is that is a 12.14% discount off the full price:
I see them on eBay (US) from time to time at $35-40. It's still a poorly designed and destined to fail mechanism.
Get this non-smoker insert:

I replaced my never used ashtray with the non-smoker kit just recently. I have a 2000S. Let me know if you're interested.

No light on the non-smoker kit. I converted my ashtray light to LED long ago, so just drilled a small hole in the side of the non-smoker tray and stuck the LED in there.

It's a Porsche part so they should have it on your side of the pond.

Whatever you guys do don't use your ash tray as a coin holder.
During spirited driving coins will be launched into the center console and make their way to the shifter mechanism.

When I have change (rarely as I try and get rid of it like the plague) I use the pockets in my shorts/pans come with. Learned my lesson on the impact of loose change in the car a long time ago. sounds like you did too.

Thanks for the timely advice! The ash tray was where I stored my wheel lock key and since I had just replaced my locking lug nuts was thinking I'd use the ashtray for change instead of the change holder in the armrest. Now I won't! Thanks
