[Tigers] steering wheels

[James Lindner]

I do not mean to hijack Peter's listing, but I am slso interested in 
upgrading my steering wheel from the black plastic wheel currently in my 
Mk1. Ideally, I am interested in an original steering wheel, but a period 
correct aftermarket one might also fit the bill. I saw Rande's 
recommendation about the Nardi wheels.

Does anybody have an original Mk1 steering wheel for sale or know where to 
get one.

I have of course looked at ebay and will continue to do so.

Thx,
