Replacing lost car keys for a vinatge car

oxygen

Hey

Im pretty sure I have lost the car keys to a vintage car. Its a 1982 Aston Martin Ticford.

Im really praying the keys turn up (need to get in contact with CIE) but if they don't does anyone know whats involved in replacing the keys for a car this old, can it be done even?

There were 3 keys on it. A door key, a petrol tank key, and an ignition key.
If they can be replaced, do I need to get in contact with Aston Martin? Is it an expensive job.

urgh cant believe I've lost them

Take the barrels out and take them to a locksmith.

Can you get a key code from AM ??

Assuming you mean Austin Metro tickford.....or maybe you also made plates for terenure a few years ago...

Assuming there is no immobiliser, you can usually get a locksmith to make keys from the barrels....

Forget about Aston Martin, its a Metro with a bodykit, if a locksmith can't help try Ebay.

If it's one of these it wouldn't be too difficult.

I would take out all 3 barrels , bring them to a locksmith, he will replace the pins in all 3 to accept the same key , you'll save yourself lugging around 2 extra keys and if you know which barrel was original tell the locksmith he'll use that as the master and you will keep it all original .
It will cost about 100 euro
