  Yes that is the handle ,the little lever that opens the door from 
the inside........I don't have anything to compare it to because they 
were both missing from my car.........as I said in an earlier post I 
have found a place that has quite an inventory of British parts and
a guy who knows about them,I will let you know if the handle works
BTW the TVR 2500,s used a lever type handle on their doors also, 
maybe that might be sourced easier
         Cheers Dave #5577

Like the door seal without the rubber??  I had nothing in the 
trough.  I put the GM style rubber seal around the lip of the trunk 
body, not the lid.
