Mike:  It has been part of my Healey folklore but not due to hard driving. 
Two times the door latch in the driver's door has worn out just from age and 
use.  I drove home from southern California several years ago with a bungee 
cord between the driver and passenger door pulls.

I take it apart, build up the surface of the 'catch' (?), and reassemble. 
The part is not available.  I think it is the un-numbered piece that is 
sticking up from the Remote Control Assembly (Moss item 40 in the Doors and 
Fittings diagram.  Also N/A).  A pain in the butt to get in and out of the 
door but is repairable even if only temporarily.
