Should be the same key as the ignition. You will need a key to remove the barrel anyway. If you have the number they are readily available.

Do not change the locks, get the original key. The number should be stamped on the face of the ignition lock or you can find out by contacting British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Website.

Here's the catch; you need to insert the correct key to remove the barrel (without damage).

Most Minor door locks are so badly worn - that just about ANY key will turn the lock. Try putting some thin (sewing machine?) oil into the lock - and then try carefully with the key you have for the Ignition.
