    We all know a few guys on this planet sell Automobilia stuff

    Bodywork, wire moulds etc, much is replica/remanufactured and not from the actual car but remade for an owner in the 80s/90/00s or used by current coachbuilders.

    but this as an aside

    as I informed everyone here: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/488gte-steering-wheel-stolen-retromobile.616487/
    about the stolen racing steering wheels

    a “dealer” who buys a steering for 25-50% of the “RRP” is not in good buying in good faith!

    Most if not all racing steering wheels that are offered for sale or will be offered for sale are STOLEN.
    F1, GT, FXX and even Challenge.

    Many have been stolen during various events.
    A modern F1 steering wheel is about 50.000-60.000 euro MINIMUM
    A GT3/GTE about 12.000-15.000 euro

    If you see a steering wheel offered for sale ASK THE SELLER: Proof of payment, origin of the wheel, who was last owner (NAMES!)
    An Automobilia seller EXACTLY KNOWS.
    You can not buy these (easy to steal) steering wheels at a racing team or the factory.

    This is for all makes, not only Ferrari

    just be aware that these items are hot and sought after.

    as soon as they come online inform Ferrari, Porsche Motorsport, Merc etc; they often know what team is missing their belongings!
    Often teams declare theft at the local police station e.g. Nürburg, Spa etc
