I believe that the following is true: In all Healeys up through the BJ7s
(i.e. no glove compartments), the ignition keys were round, and would also
lock
the trunk. On the BJ8s, I believe Hartnett is correct with his one-owner car:
Ignition key was square (ish), while the key for the glove compartment and
trunk
lock was round.
