South Egremont, Massachusetts, United States
Condition:Used

These early chrome door latches were originally used on preproduction and the first and second batches of the Austin-Healey 100. Not sure why the production was amended to the wider base door latches, but probably strengthening was found to be needed. Very early 100-4 cars should have these for Concours. One base could use some polishing work, but not badly pitted at all.

The new lower-luxury niche includes Mini, the front-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz CLA arriving this fall and Audi's compact A3 sedan shown last week on the eve of the New York auto show. Scion has gone after young entry-level buyers since its inception 10 years ago but has lost its early momentum.

Less encouraging is the overall trend of rising labour rates, with the average having increased by 33% over the last ten years.
