Very interesting, never seen one except on the 108s and 109s. Anyone have a link or a pic of one?

I'm guessing though you have the standard black steering wheel.

Read the dates after the descriptions....you are talking about your alarm system...NOT an Ivory steering wheel!

551 anti-theft warning system (с 01.11.1978 по 31.03.1998)
anti-theft/anti-break-in warning system with anti-towing system (с 01.04.1998)
steering wheel, ivory-colored (с 01.01.1963 по 31.05.1973)
