    Yes, the Ferraro wheel was used in the Stratos & also in some other competition Lancias - I've seen it in a number of Fulvia HF's.

    Do you want to sell it (I have a Fulvia 1600HF) ?

    Cool! Glad to see it some heritage, thanks for the info. Not sure I want to sell it, I would just want to replace it for a MOMO, and I kinda like the uniqueness.

    Nobody posted a picture of the Racemark wheel so I thought I would post a picture of mine that I purchased in the '70's for my '70 911S that I had at the time. Lucky that I removed it when I sold the car. The wheel was only on the car for about a year and about 250 miles. I haven't used it since but I just can't part with it. I'm such a purist that I can't seem to get myself to install it on my '72T. But I love the wheel. Am I crazy or what?

    The leather one is a Momo Gritti circa '92, and the wooden one is a Momo Super Indy. Reminds me of a wooden Prototipo.

    The ultimate early 901 wheel......

    Large 420mm date stamped (10/66) exposed rivet hole spoked Nardi with original horn button........unobtainium. Quick and dodgy pic, sorry.

    Cheers

    Interesting to see/read-about the various steering wheels used . . . back on this Old Thread

    And not just the different types/styles . . . but also why

    My biggest reason? . . . turned-out to be just being able to actually fit behind the wheel!



    How 'bout now?

    What a good thread!

    The one I choose for my lovely Trudi is not an authentic one! Maybe just because I have too big hands and I couldn't drive without stucking my fingers on the dashboard, with the original steering wheel! A problem which is usual I think and I could have resolved with a hub.
    But I found a splendid copy in Germany (Mittelmotor), which is slightly «tulipé» (360 mm) and thick. It gives some space with the dashboard. I fitted it with the classic hockey puck, which I prefer to the butterfly. I have now a classic look and a comfortable steering wheel!

    Jack, looks and feels fantastic

    I have installed one of my wheels : a Momo Clay R.. It is very nice and feels great. It seems not restored, original and genuine. Even if the leather is a bit old and craks, I have been through a gentle cleaning process (glycerin soap), moisture (Nivea Cream) and a special shoe cream (non shinny). The wheel looks clean and nice, but vintage.
