100/6 & 3000 door handle - a puzzle

[Cooperman]

Hi Guys. I recall seeing another non Healey car fitted with 3000 type door handles in the past and can't recall what it was, ring a bell with any one? If so you knowledge would be appreciated. It just that I picked up a NOS handle at an autojumble recently and it is not quite the same. The lock end is not pointed and the internal actuation lever is different, please see Pics attached. Any ideas what it may be off?????? Thanks Richard

Richard,

While similar to the Healey 100-6 Longbridge handles, yours is most likely from a Jowett Javelin, see below!

Thanks,
