Mk1 Nardi Wooden Steering wheel

I am picking up a mk1 Eunos in early February. It has the original steering wheel which I seem to remember was slightly to big for my large frame.
I had a wooden steering wheel on my mk2 Icon v1 and loved it.

So I’m on the hunt for a Nardi Wooden wheel like on the VSpec cars.

Any pointers or sellers would be helpful. I’ve seen them on driftworks but can’t at this stage justify the cost.

I’ve called Andrew at Autolink and he was surprised that one could be picked up for £330 so that may well answer my question.

Many thanks,
Theo

The going rate for a used Classico that doesn’t need a complete stripdown and refurb is £200. If you can’t stretch to that, then you need to consider other brands, such as Mountney

There is one on gumtree for £200 @ Edgbaston

I just looked up ‘MX5 Nardi Steering Wheel’ on ebay and a few wooden ones came up that look good. Not sure if they are Classico but presumably a smaller diameter wooden wheel is what you are after, so may fit the requirement?

Thanks for this. Does anyone know, would I require a Nardi Steering boss for this.
Read that Momo was 70mm pattern and Nardi is 74mm.
?

Thanks for the reply, I did look at eBay, I didn’t find one that required no work on it.
I think the original Momo wheel is 360…so just looking for something smaller.

I know it’s a bit of a curved ball, but you’re more than welcome to this alloy and leather wheel suitable for an NA. Diameter: horizontal - 345mm, vertical (reduction due to its flattened bottom section) - 325mm. Complete with boss and allen keys. Cost is just that of carriage from Norwich.

Hi Theo

Sorry about that, yes, these are no advantage as you are after something 340-50mm.
Just checked your measurements as have a Nardi boss here and a momo wheel. You are correct Nardi is 74mm centre and Momo 70mm.
I know you really want a wooden wheel but that wheel of benfield’s looks good and the other one that comes to mind is Momo Corse, neither wood of course.
