mystery ignition switch

[sking]

any of you guys recognise this ignition switch ?

it is out of my jensen interceptor 1971 series2 and therefore is supposed to be as per jaguar which i guess should be lucas.

the local jag parts dealer did not recognise it so now i'm stuck.

any have any ideas ?

sorry...
all a bit high tech.
can you see it now ?

one problem with this is the time difference.

doesn't look Jaguar to me. I'm familiar with the 1960's through 1980's Jaguar ignition switches, which are almost identical in that 20 year span. If it were Lucas, it would say Lucas somewhere.

have you tried the Jensen forum?, someone there might know better.

you mean there is a jensen forum ?

yeh, i didn't think it was a jag although someone in the jensen club is still insisting it is.

suggestions are :
hillman hunter lucas #39415
rover 1973 lucas #39412 (seems a bit of a long shot as my car was made in 1971)

might try a post on the hillman & rover forums.

Looks like a Series 1 XJ6 switch or MK III GT6, GT6 is small XJ6 larger.

There's a used unit for sale on this site:

have written to the people who run the site as there is a fault with trying to register with it if you have an address outside the US.
typical americans. it appears that if you enter a country other than USA they still expect you to be within one of the 49 states ???? weird.

to tell the truth, i am dubious about a 'second hand' switch, but we'll see.
