Mike said: ...Nice one; this is hard to come by. It was fitted for a very short period of time to late '77 and early '78 cars. It took me the best part of a year to find one to replace the awful Mountney thing the DPO had fitted to my car...
and Laura said: ...Yes, this is the wheel the that Nigel (Feb. 1978) has-and I've never been to a show yet when someone hasn't tried to buy it from me!... Well, it seems that I have done the opposite to Mike - my wheel was so shoddy that I replaced it with a Mountney, and have been entirely happy with it for several years now. Then again, I'm not such a stickler for originality as Mike, who to a few people may appear a little obsessive... ;) However, if this is such a desirable item to some, I'm very happy to part with mine. If you can get the rim re-covered with new leather, a little polish on the spokes and it will look fine. E-mail me and its yours for a nominal fee plus postage. On the subject, I remember Mike also getting obsessed over some clips that hold the seat belt buckles when you are not wearing them. Shortly after he eventually tracked them down, I discovered that I had a pair sitting in a cardboard box in my garage... Again, I'm really not that bothered about them, so if someone out there is a stickler for originality you can have them for the same nominal fee plus postage - I should warn that the plastic casing on both is rather cracked.
