Springall steering wheel

[RayAA]

I have an original 60's leather steering wheel - bought in 1968 and remained in its box ever since so in immaculate, as-new condition. It seems to be 14" and is for a splined shaft.
It belonged a friend's late husband who was fond of British sports cars of this era so I'm guessing it was for a Triumph, MG or similar. I'd like to know what it's for and approx how much it should be worth.
Anyone any ides? Pics are at

Sorry, I wasn't pluggng my site - it was just a handy place to post the pics and the site has nothing to do with cars. I couldn't work out how to load photos into the forum.

Can I use flikr or similar, or is there a way to load images into a post?

If you look on Ebay at

Vehicle Parts & Accessories >
Car Parts >
Other Car Parts

You'll see some very high prices, Mini parts are all going to Japan, I saw a used Radydot racing mirror go for over £400. Brand names & pictures are everything, but I'd guess it would make at least £500 possibly heading up to £1000.
There again, what do I know. Try it and see

Is there no indication on the box which car(s) it fits? They usually do.

Or at least something stamped on the hub that can be x-referenced?

Alternatively, go and gently try it on a Mini, a Spitfire and a Midget. It is bound to fit one of them.

Thanks for the advice. I couldn't see anything on the box but I'll go and have another look when I get the chance (it's currently locked away in a garage). I thought it might say something on the receipt but it doesn't. Perhaps I should try to find friendly spitfire/MG owners who won't mind me pulling their wheel off to give it a try!

[stenarare]

count the splines, 48 splines is mini/mg.

[RayAA]

Great, now we're getting somewhere. 48 splines and the box says - 14" 1100 C. Right, anyone know where I can find a mini/MG restorer looking for an original, mint Springall wheel?

Thanks for your help guys.

Just in case anyone is interested - I've finally got around to listing the Steering Wheel on eBay. Don't think I can post a link here but you can search for the item number: 320958445490

If the OP has not sold it in the last thirteen years I'd be very suprised!

The full Spingall/Springalex range is now being re manufactured - expensive but very, very good:
