Cheers,

My car came with a late 80's Momo which I'm trying to get a value on so I can sell it. It's a 6-89 Type V36 according to the stamping. D&W impression on the horn pad on the front.

It's in excellent condition considering the age of it, I'll try get to a computer to post a few pictures. I figure the brains trust in here may have any idea.

....or an old dog come to that!

From the garage that just keeps giving..... went up for an update on my 67S and had a rummage around my parts and found this little gem Nardi 350mm wheel complete with a solid Nardi 3600 hub. Pics are "as found" 20 mins ago. Some marks on the leather and some stitching coming slighly loose with leather coming off the bottom spoke but other than that decent condition. No date stamp but stamped 10323 on the reverse with Made in Italy and the E Nardi signature on the front.

Really like this thread, steering wheels can make a huge difference to a car. Apologies for the next post but its a modern variety. The wheel on my M5 is an absolute delight, the leather is now a joy to hold at three years old, great thickness and perfect in terms of proportion for the car. I know its sad but I genuinely enjoy the wheel and I am conscious of this when I step into the car.

This is getting a tad embarrassing - I thought I'd found every steering wheel that I could in my parts store up at my fabricators place but while looking for something else found another vintage steering wheel. No idea about this but here we go. Stamped made in France on the wheel with Prestige stamped on the front, the boss is also stamped made in France but with no other numbers that I can see. Wheel is 365 -370mm diameter and very thick with a 35mm diameter grip. Looks like a 9 bolt 100mm PCD. The boss has a 73mm deck height and 95mm overall and all slips on to a pre 74 car so hub/wheel combo made for a Porsche 911. Never heard or seen anything from "Prestige" anyone shed any light??

Looks like a Formuling France steering wheel ...

Managed to buy this from Andy (Lightweight 911), delighted to be able to finally source a nice aged 380 wheel for my E. Asked for it to be shipped straight to Jonathan.

Very pleased with the condition and work done. Hopefully get some proper pictures at some point, just snapped this on my phone.

I do love this thread! Going back through it realised I'd not posted the Martini car's wheel, here it is as it came back from Dave at Southbound......



Then in the car as the prototype was with the blanking plate and badge, still got the original horn push somewhere.

Out at 5:30 this morning for two and a half hours of fun......got to make the most of this glorious weather and everything looks so pretty in the sun! .....

I just got this little jem

That's very nice. Wish I could find something similar with a slightly slimmer rim.

This one is on eBay at the moment.

It was apparently fitted to the Sunoco 914 GT for the 1971 season, including the Daytona 24 Hours where it finished first in class.
I bet it didn't have the bling horn push back then though

I was offered that wheel for $1k last year by Francois (Jack Duval's son).

His father owned & raced many interesting Porsches - including 904-14

.......I would have given you a profit!

I do wonder if it's now been 'dressed up' judging by the Ebay photos?
