Hi all

Dug this old steering wheel out of the roof at my parents house. It belonged to my dad. He would have had it probably in his Sud or GTV back in the 70's. it says momo and Wynn's on it. Anyone tell me the model type or who the white signature might be?

Looking at selling it as I have no use for it....

Thank you in advance

Google has already been my friend and I could find nothing. Even looked through hundreds of images of momo steering wheels but could not find one the same! Wynns and momo comes up with nothing?!

Finally found it! Ronnie Peterson special edition from the late 60's early 70's! Can not find one for sale anywhere though so have no benchmark for price! Any thoughts?

We are Wynn's agents in Hillington in Glasgow. Wynn's is actually a chemical company specialising in additives of all sorts.

I was one of the first workshops to use the products when they came in from the States well over 30 years ago. Their products are of very high quality and a great deal of development goes into each one. I use them because they do additives suitable for classics as well as moderns.

The reason the sticker is on the wheel is quite simply that of sponsorship.

Momo produced a wide range of after-market steering wheels and boss adaptors.
Several wheels were named after race tracks, plus they offered several named after raceing drivers of the day.
These wheels were popular from around 1974 to the early 1980s.
The Wynns sticker was probably stuck on by the owner.
I sold lots of these during this period including Ronnie Peterson wheels and by the standards of the times, they were probably the best.
