Subject: Re: 14/60 Door release
The photograph shows the normal sliding door opener which appears on the early cars (11.9 and 12/24) and the later 2 Litre
I guess the 14/60 also had the same slider as I don't think Lagonda would have expected a customer to put their hand outside the body to open the door from the external handle.
That said, the spring which gives resistance against the opener often weakens and need replacing. I guess sometimes when the mechanism no longer opens the latch, rather than repair it, it is just removed and the owner puts their hand outside to open using the handle!
Not sure this helps very much
