John,

The gentleman's name you can't remember is Pete Groh of Ellicott City, 
MD.  His email address is pete_groh@yahoo.com.  Hope this helps keeping 
the key blanks out of the trash!

Cheers,
Chuck

I've lost the name of the guy on this list who made duplicate keys so can't 
contact him but I've got some keys I can either sling in the trash or tell you 
what I've got. They will fit any Wilmot Breedon lock from the late 1940's up to 
about the late 1960's and will almost certainly fit any UK car make covered by 
that period. I'm not willing to send them out piecemeal but would much rather 
let them go to someone who might be able to help out another person in any 
other British car club.

You can have them for the cost of the postage AND duty which will be US15.00 as 
I've already had them weighed at the post office. It really grieves me that 
whoever pays the postage is going to get lumbered with import duty for what is 
really just scrap metal, but I don't set US laws. For the record, as the keys 
have no value, duty is levied on the weight of the package and that duty is 
paid to the US Embassy in London. If I haven't had an email from anyone by 31 
March, I'll put them in the trash. The number and quantities are on the 
attached .pdf Excel sheet.

Cheers, Jonmac
