I'm the seller of this. I bought it back in 2011 and was sold it as "SPEEDWELL steering wheel NOS!! Austin Mini Cooper S MkI"

If its not correct, I'd be happy for someone to tell me and I'll either withdraw it or change the description

thanks for any info.

It's a nice wheel regardless. There are plenty of people on here who I'm sure will advise if correct.

I went to see it on Sunday, needs shed loads of work, the photos flatter it. Need full floors - inc load bay, doors are all shot too. Even the roof has had work and will need repairs.

It's a flat screen shell though and is still on the same farm it was sold new to.

Made him an offer but don't think it will be enough to buy it.

The Speedwell Wheel is very interesting.

I'm certain it's not a 1960's Speedwell wheel, but could be one done by John Adair's manifestation of Speedwell back in the 1990's. The only thing that puzzles me is that John used very nicely made Speedwell steering wheel centres of a similar pattern to the factory made Austin & Morris made ones. It also looks to me like it has been skillfully recovered at some time.

I think the description & pictures are fair. Good luck with your sale.

Nice addition to the tool kit but too rich for me

That foot pump is very, very nice. A great survivor, but it ain't going to find a new home at that price.

I would also say that looking at the box design and the structure of the part number that is it much more of a 1950's accessory than a 1960's one
should you wish, you can contact me on rich@minispares.com
