Can anyone help identifying this door lever? it fits on with a square and has a pin to secure it to the door opening mechanism.
It was fitted on some Lotus Elans of about 1967 so most likely a British car of the era. Even better if anyone has one they want to sell please contact me.
Thanks Brian.

Sorry for the awful photo but I think its from a Mk II MG Midget smile

Obtainable from Moss or other MG specialists.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think that's it, I found another Midget picture and it looks as though the lever is held on with a screw in the centre as opposed to a pin through it as I am looking for.
Anyone with Midget care to comment?

About six weeks early for anyone with a Midget to comment

I think midget are screw on, Etype are pin fit but the early series 2 I looked at today was more of a curved profile.

Citroen traction avant also used pin fit but it's been ages since I worked on one that had an interior still fitted

Most people probably will not recognize this handle without the escutcheon that fits over the pin to retain it, that sqre fitting was standard practice for several "Willmot-Bredon (manufacturer) handles of that period. First that comes to mind is :- MGA Coupe .Probably available at MG spares or Moss & co (Moss part no 427.110) price about £13

narh you're thinking of B drivers smile

that handle does look familiar to me so probably British but I can't think what

ETA: not MGA, MGB or Midget though
