[Healeys] A long shot request

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

Probably not such a long shot. British manufacturers at the time used a lot of common parts sources. For a while I had the same key code on my 53 BN1 and my 57 Land Rover. It was great to be able to use one key for either car until my buddy ripped one of the cores off for his M. BMIHT didn't note the key code on the certificate for my BN1, so I wasn't all that concerned.
