Lancias of that era often had an auxiliary power socket fitted. I have one mentioned on my Flaminia wiring diagrams and there was one for a rechargeable torch on some Betas. The idea of using the cigarette lighter socket for auxiliary power doesn't seem to have caught on back then, perhaps because so many people smoked that you needed the lighter functioning.

That bracket, held in place by two Philllips head screws, is almost identical to one fitted to the Lancia Beta which is a socket for a rechargeable torch.
