Warren, I wish Mrs Happy Days had a bidon like that :shock:
The P6's most serious shortcoming.

Back to the query...
I used one of these sorts of cup holders http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Can-and-C ... 1033985144 & modified it by straightening the upper part using heat, then cutting the top bit off & riveting it sideways as a" steady bar". I then curved the remaining upright & made a lip to slip under the transmission tunnel finisher.
It was better on a manual transmission tunnel for coffees etc as it was more upright, & bottles etc were further away from the gear lever:

Hi Phil,
What you have there is just like a bidon cage, rather more substantial and with some extra stability pieces to suit the position.
There are a massive assortment from plastic to carbon fibre.

Maybe one of these could be integrated so as to suit a particular location within the Rover.

Used the Rover to pick up my mother-in-law for Christmas today, and couldn't do without my caffeine fix for 120 miles so:-
I managed to get away with just the single elastic hook, clipped to the passenger seat-belt stalk, and ideally I need to find a more snug fitting cable reel, but it did the job
I use the flask for two reasons:
1) It keeps the coffee hot for longer :shock:
2) If you run out of coffee simply buy some more and place in the same receptacle, so you only need one size reel of cable to suit all possibilities
Of course on the home run I had the mother-in-law as the cup holder :? :? :?
