Allan,

I still have the original keys that came with my 1A, B382001570.  There are two
keys, The first fits ignition and doors.  Key has a rounded shape with "L & F"
on one side and "ROOTES" on the other.  Key number, in RMnnn format is on the
"ROOTES" side.  The other key fits console and trunk.  Key has a square shape
with "UNION" on one side and "WILMOT BREDEN" on the other.  Key number, in FSnnn
format, is on the "WILMOT BREDEN" side.  I think that there are some variations
on key designs.  TBON has pictures of various keys.

Does anyone know how many, what type, shape and color original keys?

That would include ignition; console; doors; and trunk.

My logbook mentions an RM key and also a FS key.

I see indications that RM was a Rootes key and I *assume* that that includes
Tigers,
but so far I see only that FS is used for various British cars with no mention
of Rootes or Sunbeam....

Were the small Taylor keys (Taylor #: H62DG) aftermarket?
