It's a good question. Both Leyland Mini Parts Books (microfiche courtesy of D.J.) list clearly that for Leyland Mini, the steering wheel is part number 21A2225 which is a three spoke wheel with round centre. Leyland Mini S has part number 21A2226 which is very similar, but the slight concave surface in the rim has been smoothed out toa more rounded shape. However, original publicity photos of a Leyland Mini S indicate that the steering wheel is the older style AYH6024 which is the two spoke wheel of the Morris Mini Clubman range. As a guess, I would say that the three spoke wheel came in upon introduction of the high back bucket seats which replaced the earlier style with separate head rests. |

AYH6024 is what is on my S. It is more out of interest as to why I want to know, both my 74s will probably end up with aftermarket wheels. Both the AYH6024s that I have are cracked and missing the centre cap. One will end up on my 72 van for originality (I assume AYH6024 is correct then) |

Late 72, 73 and 76 clubmans all came to me with 2 spoke wheels. |
