Steering Wheel

Post by coopertim »

Hi all.

I had this steering wheel on my first car an Austin Mini 1000 PJL 835R in Antique Gold!!!

Anybody got any ideas as to what it is? It is 13'' dia but there are no logos or makers marks on it anywhere.

Cheers. Tim.

Paddy Hopkirk,

There was a picture of one of these on the forum only a short time ago. As used by "Guru" in his race car.

Thanks for that Mark.

Does it have any value?

All early steering wheels have "A Value" the actual value mainly depends on condition & demand.

Your wheel is a fairly interesting one with it's PH connection, but the condition doesn't look great. It will definitely be worth a few bob to someone though.
