On my 1977 plus 8 you need to turn the key to the off position, then press a little tab on the steering lock above the key in, and then turn the key a little further and then you can extract it. The tab is above the key. It's a bit of a fiddle with no apparent advantage that I can see.... On the other hand, on the 69 4/4, the key will just fall out. And on my first car, 50 years ago, an Mg Midget, a screwdriver was a perfectly good substitute for the key, as the thief who took it out of the local pub car park demonstrated. They did not get far, as the throttle cable broke 3 miles down the road. I miss that car ....
