Default What is this key for ?

Can anyone recognise this key which came with 1985 928S ? (I also got a red valet? key, and a black (longer) everything key).
Overall length is 2.5 inches, and has WASO brand on it.
I am wondering if it is not for this car ?

Do you have rear A/C? If not, it might be for the lockable compartment between the rear seats.

I think it is the key to the lock on the chastity belt on the PO's wife.

This is the key that was supplied with many TR6, Spitfire and Jaguar cars in the mid to late 1970s.
Jaguar 1973-85. Some Jensen, Some Sunbeam, Lotus 1976-, Some Triumph TR6, Some Spitfire 1970 on. Fiat 67-83 some models. Original codes ran from FR or FZ 4001-6000. Please note this key is designed to be cut on one edge/side only.

Now we know why you really needed a 10 ton press.

Thanks all, I did check the storage box, bot doesn't fit, thanks to PorKen showing the double sided key for that (unfortunately I don't have a key for box).

Thanks PorKen, I think you may have solved it. Vendor was selling a Jag also at same auction, so I think keys got muddled up, cheers
PS. was looking at your cam belt tensioner kit yesterday! I think it may be a future project (belt was replaced only about 11,000km ago by previous owner, but that was 10 years ago! so probably overdue).
