looks beautiful, and the price is probably reasonable, compared to what I have seen in the case of other steering wheels

Nice Steering wheel, just a pity it is not the correct set up for a Pagoda ???

Wrong horn circle, is it from a sedan?

Garry, you may be right but when wheel looks that good - a way can be found to make it fit ;)

Did the early models not have circular rings though?

I believe the very early 63 ones were all round horn on all models they were changed later.

Indeed, they did have a round chrome ring but the hub was different. See: http://www.sl113.org/wiki/Interior/SteeringWheel
Better not think about ways to make it fit, just buy a correct one!
