Title: Exterior door handles '74 Special
Post by: kram350kram on Tuesday,January 14, 2020, 03:19:57 PM

Was the '74 Europa TC exterior door handles borrowed from another make? MGB interior handles, but can't seem to find exterior cross over? Spitfire is close but different.

The exterior door handles are the same as a Jaguar XJ6 or XJ12

They make a lot of familiar British car hardware.

Banks Europa sells them as well.
