The PO of my car moved the ignition switch on my 70 TR6, and I must say
it was definitely NOT a DPO move.

Craig-I had the same problem about 2 years. The key requires fiddling to
turn 
sometimes. I sort of solved the problem by removing the anti- torque
strap 
that locks the steering. My reasoning was I could always hot wire the 
ignition to get home if the key wouldn't turn. Probably not the best 
solution, but worked for me and I use other means to deter theft.. I
think 
the cause of the problem is wear in the lock . I have never liked the 
location of switch and am tempted to mount it on the dash, like the
early 
cars. I notice that our comm. nos are quite close.
