What style was fitted in '65?

The wheel that is being discussed in this thread is the wheel fitted from the middle of 1969. 
It is not the same as the wheel fitted to a 65.

Nice pic. I'm on the hunt for a BMC insert for my 1969 Mini K. I have the wheel but it has a Leyland insert. My car should have a BMC. If anyone has one for sale, please contact me.

Hi......I'll check my Aussie mini book and get back to you. I did much research on Aussie Minis as I have a 1969 Mini K.

 

Edit....What type steering wheel do you have?
