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.

Nissan to launch plug-in hybrid & develop fuel cells with Mercedes
Mon, 24 Oct 2011Nissan Renault & Mercedes working on 'Green' technology We have been a bit scathing about electric cars, and Nissan’s over-priced LEAF being proclaimed as a viable alternative to the ICE car. But we certainly understand the imperative for car makers to build cars which produce less CO2 (a highly dubious requirement) and use far less fuel (a very solid requirement). Sensibly, Nissan Renault, under Carlos Ghosn, aren’t putting all their eggs in one basket in the quest to make their cars cleaner, greener and more economical.
