My 1969 Minor passenger door is shut and locked. turning the key and the inside eccentric pin doesn't appear to be able to unlock the door. The interior door handle connecting bar has been disconnected, so eliminated that from being the problem. The door latch itself appears to be rock solid.
Any ideas please.

I would suggest that you remove the door card from inside the car and manually release the latch.
Be a good idea to reconnect the remote rod and investigate the cause of the handle not releasing the latch.

Thanks for the advise.
I have now managed to open the door, no idea what the problem was, all I did this morning extra is tap the lock with a hammer a few times, must have loosened something that caused the lock to seize.

May be a good idea to remove the handle mechanism and thoroughly lubricate it.

you can't beat a good calibration tap with a 5lb hammer best tool you can have.
