You da' man, Victor! Well, the locksmaith played a small part, but disassembling the lock in the front seat of your car with a knife? Cojones de latón.  [smiley=beer.gif]

My 79 reached me with two ignition-only keys, one was the folding BMW type. If it's any use to anyone, the other was cut into an original blank marked "Silca". It fits perfectly but is probably not British as a UK lock shop could not find a similar blank in their massive stock. I wonder which country Silca blanks come from.
