Fulvia under dashboard plug in socket?

[chriswgawne]

For the last 45 years I have always thought how useful the under dashboard socket on S1 Fulvias (?) could be...…...if only I could find out what sort of plug plugged into it!
Can anyone help please.
My Mum and Dad had a VW Beetle in the early 60s which also had a socket and I think I recall you could buy a rechargeable torch to plug into this from your local dealer.

We need to find a modern equivalent that fits, is the socket a DIN type?

Well I am blowed…..and so glad I finally brought it up.
Is the Lancia torch rechargeable Tim? And where did you get it if you don't mind me asking?

Yes it was rechargeable but after 50 years it needs a rebuild (winter project)! I found it in Italy in 2016 at a Lancia meet - cost a bomb!

Must say that I always thought that it was a bulb holder for a foot well light .
Explains why I could not find a compatible bulb!
What does the charging end of the torch look like?

Even more rare is the Flaminia sedan option of a warmer for baby’s milk bottle! Using same socket. Never seen one, only seen in a sales booklet.
