Vintage (1961) Wood Rim Steering Wheel (spyder) on 2040-parts.com
Hooksett, New Hampshire, US
A vintage (1961) Spyder Wood Rim Steering wheel with hub manufactured in the UK and distributed by Circuit Motors Ltd., Circuit Motors manufactured these and my husband bought some wood rim wheels from them in 1961 (they were neighbors of my father's business in London) and they have been in storage here in the US for many years. I do not know which cars this wheel would fit, but the list I have on the original letter states some of the cars, i.e. Triumph Herald, MGA ,mini-Minor/Austin 7, TR2/3/3A (fixed steering), Jaguar, Porsche 1960 series, Austin Healey, MG midget etc.
Imprinted on this wheel is Spyder and Made in England
Wheel measures 16 1/2". I do not think these wheels are made anymore,
so these are "one of a kind", as I understand it, prototype, of Circuit
Motors of London in the early 60's.
The wood on this particular wheel is fairly good considering it's age, has some scratches, but the metal part is kind of rusty, especially on the underside. One side of the wood wheel is plain, and the other side has finger grooves. See pictures.
The wheel is sold in an as is condition and I cannot accept returns. I'm sorry I cannot give more specific information. This wheel has never been used, just in storage and rust due to age.
If buyer is on the west coast we should consider shipping costs before bidding.
Will consider offers.
Please view pictures.

Original 'Panthermobile' and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang replica up for auction
Fri, 26 Aug 2011The rare original ‘Pink Panther' car, one of the most iconic vehicles in movie and television history, will be put up for auction for only the second time alongside a replica of the widely-recognizable Chitty Chitty Bang Bang vehicle. The one-off ‘Panthermobile' was created in 1969 for the 'Pink Panther' show, which NBC ran from 1969 until 1976. Jay Ohrberg, who is renowned for producing a number of other iconic Hollywood vehicles, created the unique vehicle, which was originally designed by Bob Resiner. Ohrberg's other creations include the Knight Rider K.I.T.T., Back To The Future's DeLorean, the 1966 Batman Batmobile, the 1989 Batman Batmobile, the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee, Starsky & Hutch's Ford Gran Torino and even the Flintstones cars.
New Honda Civic Black Edition launches
Tue, 08 Jul 2014New Honda Civic Black Edition launches The Honda Civic in normal guise – as opposed to the Type R – might not be the most inspiring car on the market, but it offers a convincing package nonetheless of great quality and decent looks and, in the latest Civic, better ride and better handling. As a Ford Focus and VW Golf competitor, the Civic perhaps suffers from a slightly boring image, which would explain why Honda has launched the Civic Black Edition with a meaner look to entice buyers who want a Civic that looks a bit less an older generation car. There are no power upgrades, suspension tweaks or promise of more dynamism from the Civic Black Edition, but it does get exterior gloss black elements and black side skirts and rear bumper, together with gloss black roof spoiler, integrated covers for the door mirrors and a gloss black fuel filler lid.
