[TR] TR3 coach handle

[wbeech]

Thanks for the memories, that is exactly what came with my first '58 when I
bought it in 1969.  Now I know it was not original to the car.

Bill, 

I have a P-shaped coach key and made a recent discovery after a car show.
The P-shaped key is a pre-67 VW bus "church key". It fits both the spare
tire cover as well as the bonnet on my TR3A so I don't need two separate
keys.

I just purchased a bracket (from a VW dealer on ebay) to hold my key on the
driver side kick panel. Check these out - VW "church key" ebay item#

Is this the original style, as opposed to what is sold new by the Big 3?   I
remember my TR3A from 1969 had a key that was shaped more like a "P", but
have not seen one like it since.  My current TR3A cam with two keys, home
made, one size for the bonnet and the other for the spare cover.
