I've just bought Bob's old Athena, and it only has one key (which is in good shape and works perfectly in both door and ignition). I've never before misplaced a key, be it car or house, but I'm always terrified of this scenario and previous motors have always had spares.
Could I pop down to my local dealer so see if they have a big lock-database and have them cut me one, or would it be better to just buy a blank from the interweb and get my local keycutter to make me a copy?
Cheers.
Where can I get a spare key cut?

I've had a couple cut at cobblers, that's the beauty of an unchipped key. Passats never again!

Thanks, glad these aren't stupid old 90s GMs with their chipped "passkeys".
Assuming my local might not have the correct blanks in stock... could anybody please tell me which of these are the correct fit? The SX8, 9 and 10 all look about right...

Timpsons shoes if you have one nearby. £5 per key which is guaranteed to work, if cut from one of their blanks.
