Thanks, Charles.  I did figure it out. Screwdriver through the grill to the pivot arm at the end of the connecting rod that leads to the latch. POP!

If you can do that you may be able to pry the catch mechanism aside or even remove it....OR could you cut away the outer cable (ONLY!!!!) somewhat in front of the release latch, and grab the inner cable with vise grips. Obviously that depends upon where, exactly, the cable has parted!!  Perhaps with the car on a lift you might be able to cut the OUTER cable a bit further forward if it has parted "up there".  Food for thought?

> Thank you for your enquiry for our parts and services. We offer the highest-quality spare parts for the vintage Land -Rover. Our staff is minuscule while the demand for rare and “unobtainable” parts for early Land-Rovers is relentless. While your concern is important to us, our ability to respond to each and every enquiry may be limited and stocks of many items are critically low.. We are primarily a restoration-based enterprise but when we have a surplus of a given  item, we are able to offer excess stocks to our dedicated clients. If your need is urgent, we encourage you to contact us by phone, in person. Leaving a message is rarely effective, so we recommend direct contact. With many buildings full of parts, it is not always easy to locate obscure items, and the process is often time consuming. We hope you understand. Please provide complete details of your exact model including year, wheelbase, which side drive, engine, Country of origin, etc. When giving part numbers, please also state the catalogue number (typically found on the front cover).  We appreciate your understanding and will do all we can to help.
