My 60 Roadster as an LL steering wheel.
I have been told that there are originals and later models of the wheel.
Any idea of what mine is?

Re: LL steering wheel
OK, I was told by a member who knows these things, that if the hub is riveted on the back,
its original, fastened with screws its later.
This one is riveted. Just for info.

Re: LL steering wheel
The later aftermarket universal Les Leston wheels that I have seen have a smaller area where the hub attaches, round holes, and spokes at a different angle. Then various hubs were screwed/bolted to the wheel. I bought 2 NOS LL wheels a few years back and used one on my Elva. Yours looks like it was specially made for the Porsche horn button, most likely for the Porsche factory. That's my guess.
