Feu Orange

Can you still get Feu Orange air fresheners? I'm on about the original one with the chain and the pin.

[Cock Womble 7]

Haven't seen those for years.

Yep, my 26 year old Scirocco wears one with pride!

Local motor factors sell them. £1.49 I think. 80's cheese!

EFA

No they are no longer made, many people on retrorides were looking them and contacted the company that makes them.

Some new old stock about but getting rare.

That's disappointing.

I would love to see them back again. My old man used to put one in every car he owned. Started when he bought a brand new Mk 4 2.3 Ghia Cortina. Those were the days. Does anyone remember the little pin that used to come with it?

[Evangelion]

Seem to remember that they smelt 'orrible and made some people feel sick.

Godd rddance to the things if they've gone, I say.

[oobster]

Bloody hell, I forgot those existed. Can't even remember what they smelled like.

Nowadays it's a Stawberry Magic Tree you want.

I know its an old thread but has anyone found a supplier of the Original Feu Orange air fresheners yet?
These new ones a garbage!

My 80's classic is missing this important accessory :-)

These were a factory option on all Mk5 Cortinas....at least everyone I ever went in had one hanging from the cig lighter up near the instrument binnacle - prob standard on the ghia and crusader models

I remember these being popular too!



and these bad boys:

It is reassuring to think that they must now be officially extinct as none have surfaced in nearly three years.

I believe the pin in those air fresheners fell foul of health and safety!

[gubbabump]

there's a couple originals on ebay right now - fairly expensive

[PlayersNo6]

My dad always had these back in the day. If you got the piercing wrong it soaked the felt and cardboard IIRC
