[British-cars] "FP" series keys?

[csx2282]

The keys I got from http://www.britishcarkeys.com/ were pre-cut to the FA 
and FP numbers I supplied and they fit fine.   They looked and are stamped 
just like my original keys, unlike the ones I got from a local lock smith 10 
or 15 years ago.  It looks like FP 717 is included in his inventory.
