Hello
Yes the early BN4s had a lockable door on the driver's door on LHD cars. Th=
e lock was also there on RHD cars, but was located on the passenger side.
It's the same lock as fitted to the Jowett Javelin, but a mirror image.
Interesting 1950s thinking.

I seem to remember the early sixes having a lock on the drivers side door=
. This seems to be a waste except for the people to stupit to go the ot=
her side of the car.

My BJ7, which I have owned since 1984, had lockable door handles with push=
buttons. When I restored the car in the early 1990?s I had the original do=
or handles reinstalled. I was told that the push buttons were wrong and I w=

Lockable doors don't seem to be much of a theft deterrent. Having lived in
Boston for many years in the age of British sports cars, I saw plenty with
broken vent windows or slashed convertible tops that defeated locked doors.
Maybe putting a tracker in the car and an ignition cutoff might be more
effective
