Jensen 541/CV8?

A little bit more info. The centre in the image above is a dummy, the horn push doesn't work. And despite how the picture looks, it isn't fitted the wrong way round, there is a slight dish, but only a slight one. No name anywhere.

Any info would be appreciated.

Oh! And, yes it is in an Ogle.

Jensen 541/CV8?

Close, but no cigar.

I have seen more than 1000 steering wheels but nothing like the one we are looking for.
This steering wheel must be from a 60th sportscar with no powersteering in it, the size of 16"
was back than nessesery to take a corner a bit easy. In those days the driver also had driving
gloves because of the very thin wooden wheeledge.

Whilst I cannot find another 'identical' on the web, I'd also suggest Jensen. To the best of my knowledge - limited....Jensen pressed and assembled their own wheels. (As did Aston Martin) I can well imagine its not too big an issue to pull the rectangular piercing tools and sub in something else to give the wheel a different look from the oe item fitted to CV8. Think I'd take another look at the Jensen item to determine if the blanking was common.

Possible, but the spokes are much finer/narrower than that Jensen one in the pic.

Found this from a Motorsport magazine article :

The Editor’s Mini-Minor is now graced with an Ashley Laminates “Springrim” wheel, which is of the three-spoke polished alloy type, while the varnished wooden rim has raised rivets on the reserve side to aid grip. The snag with this wheel is that other Mini drivers expect the car to disappear into the distance at great speed, but the engine has not been modified. The “Springrim” is available in 16-in. size for a number of British cars and the range will soon be extended to cover many other models.

Following the Ashley Springrim vein, there seem to be a lot of pics of Sebring/ works Sprites with those wheels. But they’re not the same as the OP Pic

The wheel on the last picture is an AVANTI for shure not a Springrim.
