Default 12 Volt Adapter

So I am still relatively new to the forum, as more than likely evidenced by my question. However after the prerequisite Google and search function I can not seem to find any thing that says one way or another weather or not the C3 has a 12V cigarette adapter anywhere in the cockpit. If it does where is it located? Thanks for the help

such an option is a creation of a much newer era. the only thing you have is the lighter itself. it gives you just 1 original 12 volt source. of course you can buy an adapter with multiple 'ports' that plug into the oem lighter housing. i'd be ral careful, however with that circuit, remember the car is old and the wiring is equally as old unless you have replaced it. tnhe circuit isn't designed for multiple loads

It has a cigar lighter, and from at least 68 to 76 it is under the sliding cover next to the environmental controls.
