Walnut Steeering Wheel

justmicky · 4th March 2009, 18:49

Following Steven Williams thread today with his £40 delivered steering wheel, I had a look at Pilsdon Autos ebay shop to see if they might have something that would suit me! Nothing doing on the site so I emailed them and asked them to let me know if they ever got one to suit my requirements then to let me know! Hey presto, replied immediately and look what I got for £58 delivered. Okay, the leather look a little scuffed at the top but I have seen Stevens thread on leather restoration and plan to do the same myself. All being well, it will be on for the meet!

That looks like an easy restoration. I'll post a few pics of my finished unit in a couple of days.

It'a amazing what you can get if you shop around.

You should check to see if they have a walnut gearknob or handbrake as well.

You could always sell on your used one and keep the Mrs happy and you get a new one.

Will see how the second hand one scrubs up.....lets face it, if it comes out okay,and the missus was obviously going to spend a few quid on a new one, well I could get a few other goodies instead!
