I thought all 4i's had the same steering wheel like the one pictured 4x4s are different because they dont have the two horn pushes.

The twin horn push was only available until oct 83, then a single push in the middle with red insert, then they removed the insert for later cars.

B reg cars usually have a burgandy bumper insert as opposed to red as well.
