I think David Manners should have them. Do you have the key numbers. Lots of keys for a small car!

Paul, Ebay is your friend as long as you have the numbers. The ignition is usually stamped on the lock, the door and boot will be stamped on the cylinder which means a strip down to find is, numbers are likely to start with FS Syd

When they are the original locks, all four locks, ignition, glove box, door, boot should have the same key number. At least on my car they are matching. So you need only the number on the ignition lock.

Thank you all for your help, I have sourced them on eBay. I think I must have had a senior moment as having driven the SP during the day I put it away in the garage and locked up. The following day went to get the keys nowhere to be found hunted high and low a complete mystery.

Just to add.. the original 'willmot breedon'/union keys are back in production and easy to find new..the lettering is slightly different to originals and they are stamped WBH (willmot breedon holdings) ..ebay a good source to find them.
For those in USA seeking 'NOS' original keys locally there are several suppliers.. Pete Groh @ 'britishcarkeys.com' has most of them in original format..
if you happen to have an ignition switch with no number on its face, the actual key number can be found by removing the barrel ..this requires removing the switch, finding the hole for spring loaded pin that holds barrel in place, depressing the location pin with a small rod (apporx 3/32" maximum) and gently easing the barrel out.. the number is located on the outer edge of barrel near the front.

If you have just lost one set of your keys take the other set into your local locksmith and he will cut you new ones in a few moments.

Replacement keys bought on eBay. I found the lost set in our everyday car in a small lidded compartment, I must of put them there while shuffling cars round.
