1977 MG MGB
Found the original Leyland key for the B screwed to the fire wall of my car. After cleaning up the key works in the ignition and I can insert it in the glove box but it won't turn. I can not insert it in the door locks or trunk ( Boot?) lock. I know back in the days when I could see and remember, most cars came with two keys. One operated the ignition and glove box and the other operated the exterior locks. Does anyone know if this is the case for this car or do I simply need to work on freeing up the exterior locks.

'77 would have come with 3 keys: ignition, door/boot and glove box.

On my 78 I have 3 keys, ignition, glove box and trunk/doors. If I remember correctly yours should be the same.

The glove box is an FT blank and the trunk/doors is an FS blank.
