[Healeys] Holy $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Oudesluys]

Joseph,
Do you have a clear picture of it? Could it be similar to the lock of 
the glove compartment of the Jensen Healey? This is also a push button 
affair with key lock. As it was the same factory who made the cars, they 
may have used up old stock for the JH.
