I've googled long enough now and I still can't find any answers.

Can any of you learned folk put me out of my misery and put a manufacturers name to this steering wheel. I did think it was a Nardi, but nearly all Nardi wheels have slots rather than holes in the spokes.
It is 13" in diameter and the spokes are steel, not alloy.





Ta muchly.

motalita springs to mind

mountney, astralli, may be stella artois talking here, but these names are coming up think its time to be sheeted up

It looks very English to me. Probably something like a Motolita, Mountney or suchlike.

Nardi's usually have a much smaller boss, and they rarely come in sizes smaller than 15 inches.

Astrali to me, some of them are stamped(early ones), the later ones are not.

My money is on it being an Astrali to, I had one identical years ago.

Thanks for the replies guys.

The boss looks same as my one and mines a Mounty or how ever you spell it one

I'm pretty sure - looking at the boss and the size of the holes that it's a Formula (or Formuling? - will check as I have a few), made in France in the early 80's. I went looking on the net a few years back and couldn't find anything on them.

I would agree with the folks who have suggested Astrali / Mountney.

Astrali wheels have it engraved on the top of the bottom arm to the wheel just before the bolts both my Astrali wheels have this

Thanks again for the replies gents.

I should get my grubby mits on this wheel tomorrow and as usual I haven't got a clue what make it is.

Any ideas folks.

Looks like a 13'' Formula.
The golden engraving in the bottom of the spoke is gone though.

If the boss fitting is square it is definitely a Formula.

Thanks for the reply Sandro, and yes, it is definitely a Formula.

Here's the proof.





Happy days.
