MG TD TF 1500 - Steering Wheel, Moss 'Original Type'

Anyone know anything about this steering wheel? (Moss #454-230) I don't recall having seen it listed before and is now on sale at $251.95.

Well, I put one of these Moss reproduction wheels on my TD back in 1977 when I restored it and have been happy with it ever since. Hope their quality is the same today.

John, thanks. I obviously haven't been paying attention, as I thought these 'original type' wheels were new on the market.

In 1977 I was in Southern California doing old Jaguar E-types. There didn't seem to be many TD's around then, but old Jags were all over the place and dirt cheap.

I put one of these Moss wheels on my TD abut 10 years ago. It is a decent quality reproduction. The big difference is that the rim is a solid color tan molding, whereas the origional was a marbelized look. I put a Wheelskins leather cover on it, so it looks and feels prettly nice. I've driven the car about 14000 miles with the wheel and it has held up fine.

Nice enough but I was dissapointed when I opened the box. A flyer I had gotten from Moss in the mid 90's talked about how they had gone to great length to get the marbleing done on the wheels. I'm not sure what happened to them but obviously it didn't make it to my door.
