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.

New Mercedes SL (2012) caught on video
Thu, 11 Aug 2011New Mercedes SL 2012 - out Near the Nurburgring We go eight months without a single story on the 2012 Mercedes SL and then two turn up at once. First Mercedes quietly drop the V12 engine from the SL (SL600 and SL63), and now we have video of the new SL on its way to, and on its way round, the Nurburgring. All of which may point towards a reveal earlier than we expected.
Future products: Acura will push for luxury credentials without V8, RWD
Fri, 01 Oct 2010The dreams of getting a V8 engine, rear-wheel-drive platforms and a sports car to replace the NSX have died for Acura dealers. Now the question is whether Acura can follow Audi's lead and elevate its brand from premium to luxury with front- and all-wheel-drive platforms. Meanwhile, Acura may return to two segments that it had abandoned by adding a compact car and a coupe.
