Ignition key

[CHIMV8 500]

Ok chaps where can I get additional keys like this please

It's a 1990-ish Cavalier column, ignition key and barrel, with no chip inside the key - so any locksmith that does car keys shouldn't have a problem.
Failing that you can get entire barrel and key sets on ebay.

These keys were used on Vauxhall & Opels right through the '70s, 80's and into the '90s.

Any common or garden key cutting place will be able to cut you one.

Hope the OP won't mind the slight thread hi-jack, but I have a similar problem - being a '93 Chimaera owner I haven't the remote locking (might actually seem a blessing), but the ignition keys and door barrels are now a little worn.

Here's a question - is replacing all with a matching set still an option? I don't want two keys to open and start the car.
I've called TVR Parts and they advise not - door barrels or ignition key, not together. Anybody know otherwise?
Cheers

How about replacing the door barrels with the metal buttons? I think it looks better, and does away with this problem

If the door lock is worn I'd hazard a guess the drivers side is more worn than the passenger side, you could just swap them over.
Or if a complete set is required you want to be looking for Calibra/Tigra but the problem is they only had one boot release, so a 'pair' of locks is going to be a non starter, but then everything's possible with enough time/effort thrown at it.
