Sorry to lower the tone but this shows how fashion changes!

My latest, a 370mm Prototipo, unsure of the age as it has no date but has the early logo so probably late 70's or early 80's

It's in great condition, looks hardly used so I'll have to rectify that.

It's a bit earlier than that Jon ... '74-'76

How do you date it then Andy?

Cheers

Momo still used the 'stacked' logo in '73 & started date-stamping the lower spoke on the back in '77 ...

Saw this fitted to something when I was in France last week, and thought of this thread.

Certainly has the patina the steering wheel aficionados yearn for...

Is it rare? £175 for one without such interesting history on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/15175409 ... 108&ff19=0

At that price, the wheel may be worth as much as the vehicle to which this one was fitted

Nice - looks like it's an early merc from the 3pointed star on the front

Is this any good?

Looks like it has a nice aged patina?

Can I talk hub again for a moment? I have a solid 7-bolt hub of uncertain provenance. It's currently surplus to requirements, but I can't remember where it came from. I have a vague feeling it may be off an old Magnus Walker car that I imported, but I could be wrong about that. Anyway, I would love to hear if someone knows which manufacturers used a 7-bolt pattern. Many thanks, Robert

Hellebore - unlikely on a Porsche.

More likely something like a Cisa or Oba (eg Corsaro wheel) ...

Just picked this up at a carbootsale for next to nothing. Has some nice patina

Not to sure it's a rare or expensive one but it looked nice enough
