Lock dashboard sp250
Lock dashboard sp250
In a Dutch magazine called Auto & motor klassiek ( in english Cars and Bikes Classic) is an article about the restoration of a sp250. They have all the parts exceptioneel the lock of the dashboard. Who has that part? Best regards Sjoerd Bakker

Re: Lock dashboard sp250
Like Marc, I had a job finding one. Some previous owner of my car had replaced the standard glovebox lid with a polished plank of mahogany - without a catch. Decorative, but not standard and insecure.
In the end I got one from Bryan Purves. It was expensive and needed rechroming, but 'any port in a storm'.
It may be worth trying Barry Thorne, Laurence Jones or Bryan to see if they have one - or maybe know of someone who has.
Incidentally if you do find one but it's lacking the striker plate, beautifully made reproductions in stainless steel are available from David Beales

It is also found in the Conquest range of models and perhaps even earlier, I haven't checked on the DB18 and Consort range. But even Hooper used one in the Dauphin, so perhaps other Empress models also. That's how they kept the cost down a little!
