New key set

Did they ever put the ignition on the steering column on a 2a?

Yes. I’m sure my last one had it on the column but that was 30 years ago. Then again it might just be me.

They might have moved it on later ones, mine was a '64 and like this - ignition bottom centre.

I’m sure the ruddy thing had a steering lock. Like I say, it was a long time ago.

It’s the same as in the picture, Wattfield. No steering lock.

That's just the first one that came up, it might be cheaper elsewhere.

Thanks, Wattfield. Looks a nice, easy job. Shouldn’t take too long to do that, and replace all three door locks with the same barrels and keys.

Ive been looking through old photos all bleedin night trying to find one of the interior. It wasnt a fun car in them days just another tool on the farm. I cant even find a photo of the outside.

What I said in the first reply to your post...and also said replace ignition and live with 2 keys to open and start vehicle..

Well I have been reliably informed by the Mrs that indeed when we were courting and I picked her up in the 2a the keys often fell out of the central ignition whilst driving.
Apparently it was her job to knock the cow crap off them and put them back in.
