I bought a 14" Steering Wheel from Brit-Tek about 8 years ago.  It is
made by Mountney.  I thinks it's the same one that is listed in the
Victoria British catalog.  In my current Brit-Tek Flyer, the leather
rimmed with polished spokes wheel is 139.55 and the wood rimmed wheel is
195.95.  Mine didn't come with an MG horn button it says Mountney in the
center.  If an MG version is available, let me know.

They are in Londonderry, NH.  (1-800-255-5883  BRIT@TIAC.NET)
