Strange but true . . . when I bought my TIGER it had no keys . . . long story
here for an other time. I was walking through Pick-your-part 5 years later and
spotted a set of keys stomped into the mud. They looked English so on a whim I
took them home and tried them in the TIGER locks. They all fit - a complete
set: ignition, door, and trunk. Who would guess how they got there.
Godspeed

Wow. I was told these were unavailable anywhere. I got all new
cylinders and generic keys from Tom Earhart a few years back, all work fine,
and the old ones (original key? I doubt it) dumped into one of the many boxes
of old Sunbeam parts I've accrued -- why would I keep them? I have enough
non-Rootes part on the car not to worry too much about losing concours points
over the keys, I guess. My owner's manual is repro, no clue on the Monroeny
label, etc., and the car was 27 years old when I got it.

need a set of those instructions.
