Re: [T3] Parts to go

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I had a UK-spec '74MY 1300 which had this steering wheel as well as hubcaps.
The late 1300 was like a "posh" 1200, as it had the rubber floormats, didn't
have the fresh air vents on the dash like the earlier cars, but it did have
the full headlining and the through-flow vents on the rear quarters. I
fitted a Mk1 Scirocco alloy-spoked steering wheel to mine. Whooh, sporty!
