The "luxury" 4 door saloon 948cc certainly did, probably a few others too...

When I bought my 1968 2 door it came with the ashtray but it wasn't fitted so I guess it came with the car when new

Hi,
Mine had the screws for one still in place in the rear but no ashtray, so I took them out as I don't smoke and don't want to encourage anyone I know that does to do so in my car.....
Best wishes,
Mike.
1954 Series 2: 4 door: "Sally" -- Back on the ground with (slave) wheels, now being sprayed by me, slowly......
1970 Triumph Herald 1200: "Hetty" -- Driven back from Llangollen in Wales (twice.....)
1952 Morris Minor MM highlight with sidevalve engine still fitted, wants work, so joins the queue for now......

None in my '61 2 Dr saloon but have multiple ashtrays in 1955 Austin A30. Dead handy for keeping spare fuses etc. in.

That is what makes it a De Lux, and the bumper overriders and interior light.
