The key to success, is keeping things simple

Close - my Plus 8 simplicity. No point in locking it just flick the battery isolator

That is a neat gizmo

And I do the same. Just flick the battery isolator.

Libra Motive………..was that the Morgan dealer in St John’s Wood ? I seem to remember them looking after my plus 8’s many years back .Small garage just off the high street.
What happened to them ?

Sadly they went bust but Librands continued

Montegue ... that's a neat fob and nicely made! .... I also believe in keeping it simple ... no door locks (or even handles) on mine so just the one well-worn old key and the tommy-bar for the knurled fixings of the sidescreens and fold-flat screen as a key-fob. Not bulky in the pocket! 🙂

Thanks for your comments chaps, the fob was made for me by Richard of Clasic Leather Fobs.

The Lawrence Tune badge came from Hermen Pol, and I replaced Monty's plastic head ignition key with a metal blank that came from an eBay seller I then had cut locally.

I no longer need the PATS chip as I replaced the Ford Visteon ECU with the excellent plug and play EMU Black, immobilisation is dealt with by my key activated Duratec battery disconnect switch. I just turn the little key, remove it, and clip it on my main fob to leave the car with a completely isolated battery.

I do have a fuel filler key, a Tommy bar and a key for 'Old Maynard' my large vintage leather trunk used on continental adventures, but to save clutter on my minimalist fob these reman hidden in a very secret place within the car

And now with a little gold plated snake chain on the door key to keep it nice and secure.

Love this Image

We both clearly favor the 'less is more' approach, and a key with real patina like that tells a thousand tales.

Pure class

I like to have all eventualities covered.



The 70th Anniversary key ring has a torch.
