Guy, something in the back of my mind says door handles may be same as P5 Rover. Sorry no idea about internal door locks - Rover again?

David, thank you for this. I have a pal in the P5 club & he will be able to help. Best wishes, Guy.

David, "that something in the back of your mind about the door handles being Rover P5" was correct! Many thanks!
Guy.

Can't believe I missed this one - yes I've been buying any good P5 handles I come accross - not many out there though!

I would use the search term, "door lock button", that is what they appear to be called. I didn't know this either when I started searching, best of luck.

Seems to be a lot of Rover P5 parts on this car, but these seem to be equally hard to find as well.

I spent a good while last night looking for the correct lock pushes, I found the words 'lock knob' worked well. I'm inclined to think they are from a Mercedes - they seem Germanic in style... Surely they weren't purpose made for AM?

I think you are 100% correct, and the shape at the top appears to be most unsual.

Like so many parts on this car, they have been sourced from a variety of places, and were I believe bought in, in small batches.

Not economical for AM to have made them in such a small batch, the tooling and mould cost would have been to high

I can tell you that they are not the same as those in a 1960's, Jaguar, Ford or Alvis and I suspect that you are pretty spot on, with Mercedes, a good choice. How about the VW Karman Ghia as well or other large volume manufacturers of the period ?

Still can't find the right door lock pulls, the closest I can find are these:

Link to door lock pull knobs

I've bought some because they are close in look and date and should do me until we found out what they should be...

I saw these and though they would be the closest you were going to find, I think a very good choice.
