1970's Era British Leyland Door/Trunk Key fits many Makes/Models

This 62FT key is used on doors and trunks of various British vehicles from 1970 through 1981 (+/- a few years either way).

Here is a partial fitment list:

  • MG: some doors/trunks 1970-1981,  MGB Glove Box  1970-1981
  • Lotus: some doors/trunks 1970-1976, Esprit some doors/trunk 1970-1994
  • Triumph:  Various applications (including some ignition) 1960-1970, Some doors/trunk 1970-1981
  • Jaguar: Some Doors/Trunk 1973-1975
  • Ford: Cortina 1970 Doors/Trunk
  • Aston Martin: 1970-1980 Some doors/trunk
  • Austin: 1970-1980 Some doors/trunk
  • Rover: 1970-1980 Some doors/trunk
  • Some 1970's Jensen Healey TRUNK  (Check key code, also used FC7)
KEY CODE SERIES:  FV or FT 101-225

During this period, British Leyland also used a 62FS key with a different keyway, so please compare your key closely.  The 62FT has only ONE grove on one side, while this key has double grooves on BOTH sides.   The 62FS also has a narrower blade.  See Pic #4!   I have the 62FS available in my ebay store!  

A certain sign that this is the key you need is if you have an original key with a key code stamped on it with either "FV" or "FT" followed by a number from 101 to 225.

I had one customer report it was an IGNITION key for his 1969 Triumph GT6+.

I have a couple different versions of these keys in both nickel plate and brass.  I reserve the right to send one by a different manufacturer/finish than pictured.

I also have the corresponding IGNITION key for most 1970's British vehicles, as well.

Please feel free to ask questions or send me pics of your existing keys prior to purchase. I would be happy to assist you in your quest.

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY MOTORING!
