MG MGA - 'Twin Cam' steering wheel for sale

To get some extra funds to feed the 'black hole' that became of my XPAG rebuild I have decided to sell one of my more prized MG-possessions; a replica of the 'MGA Special Factory steering wheel' a.k.a. the 'Twin Cam Steering Wheel' because famously the last Twin Cam, built for Mike Ellman-Brown was fitted with this special steering wheel. As such it is the only accessory steering wheel that can really be called 'period'.

According to other websites this wheel probably is the replica made by Moto Lita in the 1970's. With the wheel riveted to the hub I think it looks better than the courser original that has rather crude Nylocks on the back.

The originals are made from unobtanium, the replica marketed by Moss under nr. 263-255 has a price tag off a cool $ 969.95 and Mike Lempert makes the best replica's but his site doesn't list a price.

I will sell my mine for GBP 250.00 and shipping to UK would be around 20.00 extra. A picture is attached, better images can be mailed.

If you are interested please mail me at vdveery5888 at gmail d.o.t. com
