I purchased one just like this from James Weber an Ex ARI executive and kept the horn button and sold the wheel and hub. The history of the wheel per James Weber is that he bought the steering wheel from Knauz motors in 1968 and said it came off a GTA. James said that it was a legitimate GTA option. There seems to be a lot of folk lore about GTA options. I was told that GTA's only had 14 inch steering wheels. Yet when Horst Kwech gave me the original Steering wheel for my GTA that he removed in late 1966, it measured 15 inches, it is however 7 hole. I found a photo of the six hole wheel on a TZ in an early era photo but can't find it.
