re: Hellebore & Personal

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

I've never heard of Hellebore, and have no idea if it was an earlier 
name for the Personal company, but Personal (with the accent on the 
last syllable) is an independent Italian manufacturer of steering 
wheels that still exists.  My father has a lovely aftermarket 
Personal wheel that dates from the early '80s I believe.  It's 
currently on his '87 Jaguar, but has also been on an E-Type, and a 
FIAT 131.  A friend of my dad's (and the PO of my best friend's 
Milano) had a matching wheel that I remember seeing in a mkI VW GTI 
and an Alfetta GT when I was a kid.  I believe Vick Autosports 
carries aftermarket Personal wheels and appropriate hub adapters for 
Alfas (but if anyone needs the adapter for a FIAT 131, I can hook you 
up).
