What is the typical price range for an unrestored stock Tiger steering wheel? I recently got one with a bunch of Sunbeam parts.
Thanks.

Firstly... The Tiger wood wheel is actually the Alpine GT wheel ( first used on series 3GT)I've always wondered, are the Tiger 'wood' steering wheels more durable than the stock Alpine ones?

The hubs are exactly the same between both.
The timber rims will delaminate and split ( especially if the inner metal ring rusts )
The bakerlite ones probably lasted better in some environments... But are now harder to repair.
I didn't know that . So All the GT's had wood dash and wood Steering Wheels? That's cool! Learn something new everyday.
I'm taking it that the GT's didn't have lids either for the soft tops or were theirs just a little different? I've always loved the occasional seat pads that I've seen on some, it gives the deck a better look imo.
