Same here, that's a good point. Those bl00dy electric scooters!its the motorists who pay for all this "improvement" through road user and petrol tax
Yes, these wheels were standard fitment on all models from 63-77. All the other steering wheels were optional extras, except on 3500S models (both NADA and 'manual' S models), which got the PAS-style wheel (15.75 inch, two-spoke with round centre cap) as standard. Otherwise you only got that wheel if you had PAS fitted. There was also the 'wood effect' wheel, which looks similar to the PAS wheel, but was the same size as the standard wheel (17 inch). I think the wood-effect wheel may have been standard fitment for some export markets (99% sure standard on Federal TCs) but otherwise were vanishingly rare over here.Police P6B S. Nice! Non power steer ?
I presume these early steering wheels were also used on the series 2 cars.

I believe just 222, although that may just be the total of series 2 TC models. James Taylor's book isn't clear on that point (and I've yet to pick up a copy of the revised edition, which may clarify things).We got very, very few official series 2 cars. In fact, I think there now are more imported series 2 cars in North America than official ones.

My 1974 3500S has the same steering wheel. Brit-assembled, like all NZ 3500Ss. I doubt very much that mine was not OEM.Police P6B S. Nice! Non power steer ?

Yep, pretty much all non-power steered P6's had this wheel as standard, including 3500S's.My 1974 3500S has the same steering wheel. Brit-assembled, like all NZ 3500Ss. I doubt very much that mine was not OEM.

Yes, I am certain that all the NZ 3500Ss were imported CBU. A friend of mine was in charge of the Nelson plant at the time and confirmed it to me some years ago,
