it's good that wanting and getting are ssssssoooooooooooooo different?!! sandy (with a late 60s momo 10" - maybe worth 50!)

That's silly

What?! Not even the Chapman signature version?!!

I'll sell my Chapman signature steering wheel for that, and throw in the horn push for free!

i would to bob - tonight i'd even add my wife!!!!! sandy ----- married for way too long!!

I thought they were wood rim wheels - why is this one leather covered?
For that price you would expect it to be original and in perfect condition to start with,given you could get a totally new replica made for the same cost

Is it a '63 LoCort S/E wheel? I suspect a tall man with a Bumpy will be along shortly and put us straight

Early Elans and Cortinas had spoke 120 degrees apart as this one is, but they were phased out on Elans pretty early on. At the end of '63, the S/E became available on Cortinas and that had the leather rim. Super-rare item, but I'm not sure about ?2500!!! Len Chandler has had them re-made; they are much stronger and look pretty much the same. and sell for ?300 or so.

What price originality?

it appears to have sold (after it was reduced in price to ?2200)
