Well, I know nozzing other than the seller's reputation (he runs a 
Mercedes shop called Brooklyn Motoren Werke), but it appears to me that 
the front wheels are canted to the left, as in a left turn. Why don't 
you ask him if you think the steering wheel isn't turned, um, 
commensurately.

Will be if the wheels aren't pointed straight ahead.

I meant tilted forward off the vertical, not twisted.

I think it's the fish-eye lens he used to take the shot. Looks like his 
hand on the left side of the photo??

The steering wheels on W110/111s were quite large and the columns rigid 
(but slightly cocked to one side)!
