Interesting that you say that Darren because Moretti was considered by many to be a true 'Gentleman racer'.

I would love to get my hands on an original Werks steering wheel from the late fifties or early sixties. These wheels look astonishing.

That is a very handsome wheel. The book needs to be written - who is up for it?

How about Crowdfunding it? Kickstarter or similar... plenty of low volume, special interest books get funded that way. I'd back it.
That Monte Carlo wheel is beautiful.

True enthusiasts you all are... Here's a pretty rare, prototipo style MOMO Monza. Usually a Monza will have a smaller diameter grip with no spoke pads.
