1961 Vintage Wood Rim Steering Wheel (spyder) on 2040-parts.com

This is a a vintage 1961 Spyder Wood Rim Steering wheel manufactured in the UK and distributed by Circuit Motors, Ltd. My husband purchased numerous wheels back in 1961, and they have been in storage here for many years. Circuit Motors were neighbors of my father's business in London. 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.

 This particular wheel measures 16 1/2" approx. edge to edge. As stated above, the hub on this steering wheel is very rusty. This is a very heavy wheel, one of the heaviest I had. I believe this was one of Circuit Motors first wheels as it has a Patent Pending No. APP 29667/60 imprinted on the metal part and states Reg. in Great Britain, No. 898788 again imprinted on the metal part. Spyder is also imprinted on the metal.

The wood on this wheel is in fairly good condition, considering it's age, some  minor scratches. Needs polishing I think. I didn't dare touch it. It's mostly the metal inbetween the wood that is kind of scratched.

This wheel has never been used, has been in storage.

As I have stated, the wheel is sold in an as is condition and I cannot accept returns. I am sorry I do not have more specific information as regards this wheel. If you have any questions please contact me prior to bidding.
