Is the steering wheel really that big?

Nice car, but red stripes and red wheels are not original. Bumpers with rubber inserts are from a later series (IV). Difficult to say about the steering wheel, but it seems not original. Same for running boards below doors. Andrea

Number KYO 7 looks familiar, is it the Ronnie Barker car?

This Ardea did belong to Steady, but is now owned by Wayne Kelham who does alot of work on Steady's cars. Wayne is in the passenger seat in the picture.

Ron Barker is known to all his friends as 'Steady', so you were correct Brian.
This is a picture of Steady in the car when he owned it in 2000.
