Exterior door handles '74 Special
« 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.

Thanks for the link, Mr. Pfreen. Lots of good stuff there.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Banks Europa sells them as well.
