Very Early Nardi 420mm With Ar Alfa Romeo Horn Button Used On 1940 6c on 2040-parts.com

I'M OPEN TO A REASONABLE OFFER
This auction is for an early vintage 1950s Nardi Steering Wheel with a vintage horn button with the letters AR. 1) From the looks of the hub and construction of the wheel, this is one of Nardi's early 1950s steering wheels. 2) This steering wheel and horn button were mounted on a 1940 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Graber Cabriolet. Of course the Nardi would not have been the original steering wheel for that Alfa. But at some time during the cars life, the Nardi was mounted to that Alfa. Below is a picture the 1940 Alfa with this Nardi wheel and horn button.  3) I realize the horn button does not have the official Alfa Romeo crest. Maybe Nardi didn't have the rights to use the official Nardi logo when they first began making steering wheels. That is just a guess. Whatever the reason, the letters AR are unmistakable and a picture of the steering wheel on the 1940 Alfa clearly confirms this horn button was on the car. Beautiful patina and lots of history with this horn button. 4) The correct Nardi Torino logo is on the rear of the lower spoke of the wheel. There is no date and it is my understanding many Nardi steering wheels made in the 1950s were not dated. 5) The E. Nardi signature is not on the RH spoke of the wheel. It is my understanding that the many of the 1950s Nardi wheels were not signed. 6) The wood on this wheel is cracked and will need restoration. 7) The horn button fits loose in the wheel. I think there was a snap ring to hold the horn button in place. The snap ring is not with the wheel. I looked at another early 1950s Nardi wheel today which had a snap ring to hold the horn button. This wheel has the grove where a snap ring would fit, but no ring. I have described the wheel as best I can. It likely will fit other cars, I just don't know. It is a real neat piece of Nardi history. E-Mail with questions. Shipping extra. Good luck! |

New Jaguar XJ – the Configurator
Tue, 28 Jul 2009Our Jaguar XJ Configurator Car - Ebony with tasty wheels and all the toys But speaking to the guys from Jaguar, they are convinced that – despite its size – the new Jaguar XJ is at least as good to drive as the XF. Which after our Jaguar XFR Review this last week has had us salivating all over again at the prospect! So we thought we’d let you know that Jaguar has put an online configurator up for the new Jaguar XJ, where you can go and play and configure the Jag exactly as you want it.
Mercedes CLA snapped undisguised
Thu, 13 Sep 2012The Mercedes CLA – a baby CLS based on the new A Class – has been snapped undisguised in Iceland ahead of a 2013 reveal. The fact that Mercedes are building a four-door, swoopy coupe based on the new A Class is no secret. In fact, Mercedes rolled out the Concept Style Coupe at the Beijing Motor Show earlier this year as a very clear pointer of what to expect.
