I was out in the garage looking on my 67 MGB for some obscure place that the original paint color was still showing that wasn't painted over by the PO. This was the first time I had the Clausager boo

Speaking of original steering wheels... I have the original from my '68B sitting on my computer monitor at work (it lets people know that I am an MG driver). It was about the first thing I changed be

Eric, I see these on eBay with regularity and it seems they go from anywhere between $10 (this was for one with no rim, just the spokes!!) and to the $70 to $90 range for extremely decent ones. Oh, a

I am thinking this steering wheel was actually stock or an after market wheel put on the car before it was sold in 1967. This is because I have one just like it on my 67 BGT. I bought the 67BGT a few

Well, my 66 B came with an extremely well-broken-in wood-rim wheel, with matching aluminum-with-wood-insert door pulls, but that does not mean they were factory or dealer options. After all, the car

I can't really say if this steering wheel came as a dealer option. Clausager does not show this steering wheel type. But with the center MG emblem, its well worn condition, and the appearance of anot

Lawrie, I think you're right. At least, there was a Special Edition GT -- I don't know what the wheel looked like. But this person's car is a roadster... -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near

Very typical after-market wheel for the time of the car. It is very possible that it was dealer installed to spiff up the car, or during the first few years of use. The same type of wheel was instal

As Lawrie points out, 67 GTs did have a Special Edition option. You should look it up and see if they had a wheel that matches yours. I think there's a page on the NAMGBR site devoted to them. But if

Yes, Max, I remember he has a roadster but it is as easy to fit a contemporary GT wheel as it is to fit an aftermarket wheel. I was just reminding folks that there was a "factory" wheel of that era t

If anyone thinks that this was possibly the GT SE wheel, let me know so I don't further "muck it up" I guess in the unlikely event that it is on the 1000 or so of those, someone might need it. Patton
