What year(s) was the "banjo" steering wheel standard equipment? (see pic at _http://www.carcentric.com/spitfiresteeringwheelCU.jpg_ (http://www.carcentric.com/spitfiresteeringwheelCU.jpg) ) ==AM== I'm thinking Mk3 Spitfire at least through 1969; at the moment I can't remember about the 1970 Mk3, nor can I lay my hands on any pictures or sales literature for same. ==AM== Did Spits ever have an expanded metal collapsible section in the steering shaft designed to crush in a frontal impact? ==AM== Only if there was something akin to that in the TR7-style steering column adopted by the 1977 and later Spitfire 1500 models. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
