Default Does anyone know the history of this V6 on Autotrader?

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...01607055561531

Fully loaded, if everything works, but it seems to have the wrong steering wheel.

I was just wondering if it is the wrong wheel, and whether anyone here might know why it was changed

Thanks

I change the steering wheel on every rover or mg I buy if I plan on driving it myself.

It's a personal taste thing - some people would view that wheel as an upgrade - if I owned that car it would have a standard MG leather wheel on it before the petrol warning light could come on.

Change of steering wheel is nothing to worry about - I've just replaced an immaculate light oak wheel with a black leather rover wheel. I sell the wooden wheels on because I just don't like them

Yes I saw the MOT history suzublu. I'm a little surprised that it passed with flying colours last year after a year off the road!

Looks like a black oak dash plus a very faded black oak steering wheel to me, they could have been spec'd on original purchase or changed by a previous owner.

Yup, totally agree with young Jim on that one.

Not an expensive car to be honest. You could buy 2 Mondeos similar for that money!
A few quid spent and enjoy.............
Its a better car by 100 miles just incase anyone thought I was being rude.

I am sure that there is a logical explanation; however, does the odometer reading for the MOT test (in May 2016) look a few miles more than that shown on the clock in picture 6/6.
