Door handle

[Ken]

Can anyone tell me what was the last mass production car built in the uk that had door handles that you pushed down to open the door?

It must be a mass produced car and not a kit car or a small manufacturer.

I need the answer before this evening as beer is at stake This came up in the pub yesterday and something tells me it may be a trick question but I am assured not

I am wondering if it was the early British mini or am I way off track?

Thanks for any help

Ken :lol:

It might not count but my Dad's 1992 TVR Griffith has push down door handles

Fiat Panda - Sold hundreds of thousands of units, so it's definately mass produced..

EDIT: The original one, not the new one BTW..



See the recess behind the lock..? That's where the actual door handle was..

Thanks for that, it could be where the possibility of a trick question could come in. Was the Fiat Panda built in the UK though?

I think he is expecting everyone to think of the old chrome type handles that pushed down and not the Panda hidden handles............but its the built in the UK bit that worries me

Thanks again :lol:

I don't think the Griffith will come under the mass produced label but I will keep that one under my hat to look impressive and as a back up

Thanks

Oops, missed the "built in the UK" bit

[Ken]

I have just been told it may have been the Wolseley Hornet or possibly the Riley Elf

[Phil]

Not a Landrover is it? One of the 90 types? Around 1980?

Actually, does the question specify internal or external handles?

Ken is this any help, the handle is just visible to the right of the steering wheel, a 1960's Riley Kestral
