Stolen from the UK thread is this completely wonderful quote :

Stig asked him if he had a contemporary Ferrari to use as an every day vehicle. "Oh yes I've got a 275" was the reply. Really genuine top bloke

 

Was for sale a Hartley Jr in the past

Fürstentum Liechtenstein as FL? Romano, such a detailer

 

the world is not just the USA

 

Is the steering wheel supposed to have the spokes shiny, or patina? I have one, and very original from way back. And the spokes are not shiny.

Anyone have the claxon detail, off the wheel? Specially the bottom.
Did this car have horn(s)? Being a race car, I am guessing not.

According to the documents and photos from DK Engineering from 1994 which was immediately prior to the car being restored, the inventory sheet and photos show the original steering wheel so I assume this is the original and proper finish too. There is no horn in the car and to your point, being a race car it probably never had one.

 

Thank you Joe,

Then I might shine up my spokes some? I have the hub top and bottom, but missing the center piece with the Cavallino.
That is my quest
