That depends. My heart is all on fixing this lil gal up! But, I am a big nastolgia drag fan. If the right deal came across to trade a cool drag project for this, I would trade! But I do not forsee that. So I am gathering info on this and trying to learn stuff. By the way, I gotta go now, my head hurts already today! LOL.
 
If I didn't already have a TR3 project, I would definitely be interested!

Hard to say what it is "worth" without an in-person inspection. But I paid somewhat less than $4000 for my project a few years ago; and I think I got a good deal. (IIRC my actual bid was $5500.) Of course, it always depends on matching the car to the buyer; and I might not have bid at all if it hadn't been just a few miles from my home.
 
Looks like a bugeye sprite steering wheel. Pull it and sell it on ebay and if it is in good shape you should be able to buy a replacement TR3a wheel.
 
I would say that it is a steering wheel from a Morris Minor.

Jody, Welcome to the forum!
My home-made build date calculation system says TS33001
was built on 19 June 1958. It's usually correct to within
2-3 days, but of course no colors, accessories, etc. Joel
Rosen is your best bet for complete info; The BHC c
certificate is fancy looking but doesn't tell you any more
that Joel's info.
I don't know where exactly in the Finger Lakes area you're
located but there is an active Triumph Club in Monroe County.
(Rochester area) Along with the FORUM, It's always a good
idea to join a local Triumph (or LBC) club in your area. The
local members will know where to locally source parts and
technicians.
Again, WELCOME!
Frank
