Best thing is to remove the ignition/steering lock assembly. Remove the metal cover plate (plastic caps over the screws. or maybe it's behind the horn pad?) and there's a 1/8" hole in the side (underneath?) that needs a small spike pushed in to depress a locking spring ring. If you have a key with the same M profile, that will help pull out the lock assembly. This is from memory, so best check your Bentley. You can get a key made to the code, but probably not locally and in a hurry. Dave.

'72 squareback. > Just got given an amazing 72 squareback that has not seen the road since 86... but it has so little rust on it I had to pinch myself. The car was a gift with the only catch being that I have to get it TODAY. Tried to tow it yesterday and couldnt't do it as the steering column is locked and the key is long since lost. I need suggestions asap...
