My '75 TR6 came with three non-original keys; 1 for ignition, 1 for the
doors and one for the trunk. Last year as we were sorting out the
electricals in the car, an original set fell out of the driver's front left
parking light! (So THAT'S why the light is so dim!!!) There were three keys
and a very small tag with an I.D. number.
I'll bet the PO was scratching his head over where those keys had gone to...
