I was surprised when I looked on Ebay at the number of sellers offering new handles for Morris Oxfords - then I realised they were all from India, where the fifties shape Oxford was produced in some quantity until recently as the Hindustan Ambassador. Some of the shapes look right, the Conquest ones look different at first because they sit on the little chrome plinth,which is still on the door where the handle has broken off.
So thanks everyone, looks like there is a supply.

Re: Conquest Door Handle wanted
I have a '55' Austin Westminster next to a '56' Conquest in my garage and I can assure you the the handles are very different (the Westminsters shared the same doors with the A55s). I agree there are many "common" parts shared by the different marques but unfortunately Austin and Daimler door handles aren't one of them.

Thanks Tim I'll try to work out how to send you a picture - I'm of the carb and coil generation so not very computer literate!

Hi Tim - I (and the car) live in Thetford, Norfolk, just off the A11. But if you send me your e-mail address I think I can send you pictures that way.
Thanks - John
