If it's a 2 door you might be able to get in through one of the rear pop out windows by removing the screw that secures the latch to the window. I did this once on a 142 (exactly the same window) and it was surprisingly easy. Be careful though. The pop out windows are not hinged at the front. There are two tongues that ride in slots. Don't drop the window. Never got locked out of any of my 242's. Just for the heck of it I once tried to loosen that screw on one of them and it seemed pretty secure so I didn't force it. If it doesn't want to yield, find another way.
If by some chance you have a trunk key that works you might be able to fashion some sort of fork on the end of a pole and reach one of lock buttons by going through the opening behind the center armrest.
