Gentlemen,
I have seen the lockable door handle only on Longbridge-produced 100/6s and
the handle was always fitted to the LH door only - on both LHD and RHD
models.
The text in the Moment/Anderson book refers to 'export' (LHD) models only,
hence the comment "driver's side". Correct in your country, but not in
ours. ;-)

I recalled something about that lock, being into door handles myself right
now.
A quick look at the Anderson/Moment bible shows it in a picture with the
caption "The driver's side door handle was fitted with a lock on the first
series BN4s". I suppose that there were a load of handles left over from
some other car and they just used them up. I think that I also recall that
the other side/door did not have a lock.
I've not looked at my other books, so am not sure which side of the water
the book is referring to..British driver's side or N.America's side.
But, I guess that it's right for your car anyhow. Note: Guess.

Has anyone seen this door lock arrangement. Any information would be
appreciated.
