... but not as we know it !
I recently bought several damaged/poor condition original Porsche 911/914 steering wheels as I needed a couple of the central splined sections for various steering wheel projects.
This is one of the wheels that I'm offering here - it's an '805.10' 380mm wheel which originally came with a leather covered rim & is one of the most sought-after versions.
The '806.10' leather wheel was fitted to the 2.7 RS models & the '805.10' is identical in all respects other than the part no.
In the case of this wheel it has been modified at some time in the past by drilling 3 holes in each of the spokes - & it has also lost its leather covering.
There are also various sanding marks visible under the black paint on the spokes.
Possibilities for the wheel include welding up the holes in the spokes & getting the rim re-covered ; tidying up the sanding marks & getting it re-covered to create a 'hotrod' wheel; removing the centre splined hub & grafting it into another (lesser) leather wheel, etc.
£200 + postage
