Chuck
On your Heritage Certificate, does it give any suggestion of the car being
delivered to its first owner in the UK or Europe under the personal export
scheme? If it does, then the car 'accommodates' a full US spec, together
with a requirement for use in Europe of separate keys for ignition/doors (1)
boot (2) and glovebox (3).
If the HC states the car was shipped direct to a US port, then it would
probably have been a cancelled personal export order and the car had already
been produced. As delivery status was changed from UK/Europe to Direct
Shipment , then it's likely that Sales Conversion would have changed the
lock on the boot to match the ignition and doors.
Of course, if you didn't buy the car new and it may have had one or more
previous owners, who knows what they might have done?
Moral? Don't believe everything you read in handbooks and workshop manuals:)
There were many, many caveats and exceptions...................
