Hi everyone.
I am restoring a 1958 AH BN4. The left side handle is equipped with a lock. Can anyone help me find it?
Thank you.

I had mine re-chromed, I just had to disassembled it prior to having it done.

Have you checked with any Healey parts suppliers? I would call, not just look on their website. You might have to purchase a used handle and get it rechromed. Three that come to mind:
  • British Car Specialists in California
  • Healey Surgeons in Maryland
  • AH Spares in the UK
Reid, do we need a page listing parts and service suppliers?

I have already checked with AH Spares.
I will contact the others now.
Thanks for the report.
 
Action51, I don't know if you are aware but, on the cars that came with the left side locking handle like you show, the right side latch was also lockable but from the inside of the car by a small lever on the latch. You might want to check to see if you have this lockable right side latch.
Pictures of both latches - you can see the small lever on the right side latch.

You are in Fossano I am in Trieste if you need hap contact me
The BN4 100/6 handle is the same of the Astom Martin DB2 I have used one for spare parts - if you need one new search from Aston suppliers
or e Bay for used handle or spares
Nella mia zona NON c'era una 100/6 quindi mi sono creato un archivio molto vasto- Certe volte una foto vale100 pagine
ti mando il link di alcuni dei miei Albums

Good morning everyone.
I'm always looking for a lockable handle for the BN4.
But now I would like to do a little history of this car. Comes from the USA, produced in March 1958, chassis no. 59194, matching numbers. It was built in Abingdon in the period of overlap in the two BN4 locations, therefore with the characteristics of those manufactured in Longbridge.
Rather battered, we began a full restoration.
Here are some initial photos.
