My RP had its original door handles when I first had it. Indeed, it was actually illegal to lock ones car on British roads up until 1934! The rationale was that: in case the police had to move it.
As my car is very much a 'working car' (no room for garage queens in the Stepney household), one of the first jobs that I did was to replace the handles with locking handles so that i can at least make some effort to secure the car when unattended.
I have the original handles in a box in the garage but, given that, although I have been up and about since 8.30 (it is now 10.42!) this morning and done a hundred and one domestic chores (including emails etc) I am still in my slippers and dressing gown, so I will dig them out and post photographs later.
