Also, the correct key blank is LF4, such as this: 
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193833954599?hash=item2d21676d27:g:jKcAAOSwFOpf8elK 
or this: 
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371499633480?hash=item567f1a8b48:g:APQAAOSwLJZc4tfo

There is a pair on ebay USA; the link looks too long to paste here, but 
the item number is 304144749172, "Key Blank - X13 Vintage Vauxhall, 
Rover, Bedford CF, Other B/L (set of 2) LF4"

I had a spare key for my 3500S cut from one of these blanks when I was 
in the UK one time.  I don't recall if I tried any locksmiths in the US, 
but it was no problem in the UK.
