Re: Early locking steering column MK3
Wasn't very clear on my initial posting....this is the Steering column assembly used on MK3 cars.

Re: Early locking steering column MK3
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.

Re: Early locking steering column MK3
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).

Re: Early locking steering column MK3
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
