    Hi,
    Does anyone know whether the outer door handles on the Mistral are interchangeable with any other car? I think they look similar to the Alfa Giulietta of the period, but have not been able to verify.

    I might need one new, or at least the key lock cylinder for the driver's side. Any suggestions?

    I have not yet bought the car, but will probably in a week or so, and it will need some new parts and a light restoration. Will update with a thread as soon as the car is in my garage.

    Yes, they are absolutely identical. So, they should not be too difficult to find on eBay.
    But I would be interested to know if they are made from Zamac or brass? In the later case, rechrome them is pehaps the best solution.

    The 3500 GT/GTi and Mistral have the same door handles of the Giulietta.
    But there's a difference in the right one (the passenger door) .
    The Maserati's door handle has the key slot in the button, while the Alfa's one doesn't.

    Ciao

    The passenger door handle of my Mistral 3.7 has no key slot, but a plain button.
    This door can only be locked in pushing the internal door handle to the front. Alain

    This is a Mistral spyder, I know very well this unmolested car, and as you can see there's the key slot in the handle of the passenger door .

    Ciao
