1969 T - key broke in ignition!
Hi!!
I just bought myself an old Porsche 911T from 1969 -it has a broken key sitting in the ignition lock -any tip on how to get such a bastard out without drilling out the lock and dismantling it??
Thanks a lot in advance!

Simply remove and replace the lock/switch mechanism with a "new" one from a donor car. If you go this route, you'll have to swap out the door locks as well to have them work with the same key.
At least it could get it back on the road while you take the original lock to a locksmith for key extraction.
Good luck
