[TR] key series

[Geo & Kathleen Hahn]

Both my 59 TR3A and my 64 TR4 have FP ignition keys.

Often you can get original keys recovered from old vehicles or NOS supplies. 
There are a couple of sources for these.  Cutting blanks is okay for spares 
but if these are to be used regularly the original keys are nice.
