What appears to be a period lock from a Rover P5 which may bebe suitable for a Rapide, is available on eBay with key etc. The centre stem section will no doubt need adapting for the Rapide.

These locks were originally supplied by Yale, and of a pattern long discontinued, not doubt used on other cars as well.

Tony hi

Sorry for delayed reply to this request !

If you haven’t checked with the folks at Aston Service Dorset., that is always a good place to start. But make sure you let them know these are parts for a 3.0 litre or they will try and sell you some Jackalls from a V12, which are a different height and diameter.

If this avenue does not work out, email me, and I will try and help further.

Kind regards

Simon

Do take care, since the radiator grill for the 2.6 car is bigger than that for the latter 3.0 litre cars, and they are not interchangeable.

Yes, this is Richards car, it has been at Cotswold for awhile.

The Dubonnet looks nice, but imho, not as good as the original Aegean Blue, perhaps I am biased…

Peter – I also agree this was a very good buy, a handsome car, and having seen it once, well worth the money for the new owner.

The blog gave a good indication as to how much and time, effort and money went into this car over 3 years.

Have you been in contact with Steve Hunt, who re-conditions many Lucas items, he may possibly be able to assist ?

I now attach a few pictures of this car, which looks to be in very fine fettle, with a large amount of money spent on it.

A few changes from standard spec, but nothing of concern.

What I know of the car, tends to suggest, a very, very well maintained car, and I think that the picture does not flatter it.

The current owner only keeps and has cars which are as near perfect as possible.

I would suggest that the figure achieved for LR155 of ?180K would be a good starting place.

So my suggestion of the market place would be ?180-220k, yup, I do think that this car may crash through the barrier, and perhaps a little more if several parties are bidding for it.
