Hi,
I was just wondering is this an original mini morris steering wheel? Doesn't look like it I think.

Oh & also on my dashboard in between the wipers switch & headlights switch there is a hole where a missing button is, what was there if anyone knows? 65 Morris Mini

Not original.

Hole is for ignition switch.

You have Leyland type - a lot "harder" to turn. :lol:

Thanks heaps! But why's there an ignition switch when there already is one to start the car, or was that modified?

My guess is that they pulled a steering column out of a clubman, for whatever reason, and they decided to use the clubman barrel for your ignition switch.
And cos you don't need two ignition switches, they took the original one out
