Is this the one you seek?

Have inner column, indicator stalk and steering wheel also, but no sign of key. Lock is Lowe & Fletcher, date 20 79.

For reference pic below is of an early Mk3 Locking column and ignition switch (which is set horizontal to the column when compared to the later Mk4 onwards).

I'm sure that it wouldn't be beyond the wit of man - or a forumer - to replace the lost keys by disassembling the lock. Better still, Wilmott-Breeden stil exist. I bet that they'd be able to replace the keys or a new barrel with keys
