On my Consort the lock on the front door is on the passenger side - was this a standard feature or do I have some variant?
Most grateful for any advice.
Michael

Re: Strange Case of Door Handles
We had this come up on the old forum, it's something to do with having a chauffeur. Ask your chauffeur
Someone will correct me, but it's because a chauffeur lets passengers in or out at the near side and then locks the door.
I also remember something about the driver having to move across the front seat to get out. It seems crazy and perhaps my memory is wrong.

Re: Strange Case of Door Handles
Nothing wrong with your memory John-B, that's how they were - one lock on the front passenger door - you get in then slide across!
You can of course fit a locking handle on the drivers' door if you wish, and I believe on the Conquest range the door handles are the same as Morris Oxfords of that period, which widens your search if you go trolling the 'net.

Re: Strange Case of Door Handles
The door handles on the DB18 saloons / Consorts were also used on some Lagondas they are different to the Conquest range. Good secondhand locking handles are getting hard to find..
