I have recently bought a '72 +2 which has (to my eyes) really unusual circular doorlocks (see attached pictures)- one of whih doesn’t work. I’ll delve into the insides of the door but wonder - are these the correct locks? Or are they some strange thing fitting by a previos owner?
Yes the handles are correct unless you have a 1967 or early 1968 car in which case they are not.
These handles are from a Series 1+2 Jaguar XJ, have a look on ebay Item number: 310070582211. I bought 4 handles in mint condition for ?7, at that price I had to have them even though mine are good
The door lock is not original, it is a after market high security lock we used to fit on work vans in the 1990’s. It was sold on the fact that you could not put a screwdriver in it and force it like the original ones. I can and have opened my +2 with a wire coathanger so no need for added security.
These people http://www.faparkes.co.uk/ actually supply new locks for the doors with are identical to the originals complete with new keys etc !! all fr about 6 Quid !!
Thye are under Locks & Lock Cylinders / Cam / comp Key Op
You can get then with straight or cranked operating levers etc
