Hi all,
i would like to know the rough age of this wheel. anyone have any ideas, i am finding it hard to find a wheel that i like!

I like this but i think it will be a bit over the top price wise.

That style of Paddy Hopkirk wheel was certainly available in the mid to late 70's. I can remember seeing them in my local tuning shop. Rich has a very early PH fitted to his racer but it is totally different to the one above.
The styla wheel in the other listing is nice, but has nothing to do with Speedwell or LL.

I've got a PH steering wheel but not seen one similar hopefully some one maybe able to guide me to getting a boss that fits a mini?? probably 14" and has three spokes in a black powder coat. With a small PH logo stamped on the bottom spoke. Really nice.

Greenie,
Yours sounds like a much later one. More like the 80's. As you say, nice wheels all the same.

Thanks Mark, do you know where I could get a boss to fit a mini?

Greenie,
Can you post a pic of your wheel?
I'll have a look through my boss box, no promises, but it's worth a try.
Regards,
Mark
