I'm confused too.  I visit various web sites including E-Bay looking at TR 
parts.  Looked at a steering wheel.  Didn't bid, didn't inquire.  Next 
thing, I've got an e-mail from a guy in (China, he says) that he's got the 
steering wheel and am I still interested?  Sounds like spyware to me.

Interesting.  I'm thinking to ask a bunch of questions, extended over time, 
to draw this thing out and to find out more, at least until I'm satisfied 
the guy is legit.

'59 Tr3A Body off, rest rebuilt, repaired, replaced and back on...and a new 
wood steering wheel bought on sale on its way despite having rebuilt a 
pefectly serviceable but not inspirational stock wheel.  ...Embrace the 
decadance!
