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.

Toyota recalls the Lexus GX 460 SUV to upgrade stability software
Mon, 19 Apr 2010Toyota on Monday said it is recalling about 9,400 copies of the 2010 Lexus GX 460 to update the stability-control software--just one week after Consumer Reports magazine warned that the vehicle was prone to oversteer in turns and urged its subscribers not to buy the vehicle. It's the latest in a series of gaffes that have damaged Toyota's reputation for high quality and led the automaker to recall millions of vehicles to fix problems such as sticking gas pedals. "Toyota's objective is to provide a high level of safety and quality, while meeting or surpassing governmental regulations," said Steve St.
Hyundai: E4U Egg Car & Fluidic Sculpture in Motion
Sun, 14 Apr 2013Hyundai has already made it clear that 2013 will be about ‘Brand Awareness’ rather than releasing a new raft of models and chasing ever increasing sales, so two Hyundai outings in the last week can be put down to their targeted aim of profile raising. In Milan, Hyundai are taking part in the Milan Design Week by showing an innovative light sculpture that has been inspired by Hyundai’s ‘Fluidic Design’ (even though Hyundai have already said that ‘Fluidic Design’ is being replaced by ‘Fluidic Precision’ as they aim to make their designs ‘cleaner) with an installation made up of 12,000 translucent spheres acting collectively on a screen, surrounded by high-power lasers and suspended over a pool of water. The ‘performance’ starts with virtual rain created by the lasers which form three-dimensional shapes, followed by an interactive segment where human interaction creates three-dimensional images by scanning for body warmth so visitors can manipulate what they see by using gestures.
