Allan,
I still have the original keys that came with my 1A, B382001570. There are two
keys, The first fits ignition and doors. Key has a rounded shape with "L & F"
on one side and "ROOTES" on the other. Key number, in RMnnn format is on the
"ROOTES" side. The other key fits console and trunk. Key has a square shape
with "UNION" on one side and "WILMOT BREDEN" on the other. Key number, in FSnnn
format, is on the "WILMOT BREDEN" side. I think that there are some variations
on key designs. TBON has pictures of various keys.

Subject: [Tigers] Original keys
Does anyone know how many, what type, shape and color original keys?
That would include ignition; console; doors; and trunk.
My logbook mentions an RM key and also a FS key.
I see indications that RM was a Rootes key and I *assume* that that includes
Tigers,
but so far I see only that FS is used for various British cars with no mention
of Rootes or Sunbeam....
Were the small Taylor keys (Taylor #: H62DG) aftermarket?
