Personal steering wheels

[the pits]

Is 'Personal' a brand like 'momo' or just a tvr thing? They are all stunning wheels without exception but I do prefer the older griffith style ones to the new t350 ones (ie hands at ten to two rather than quarter to three as it were).

More to the point do 'personal' have a website? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

There's a few on e-bay that aren't TVR so I assume there's a greater market.

As for hand position, the quarter to three position is associated with track and rally where lock to lock is a significantly lower number and steering is done without changing hand position, i.e. crossing your arms is the right way to steer. TVR's have very few turns lock to lock so the quarter to three position makes some sense.

'Personal' are part of the Nardi-Italia group of companies. When I was looking for a Personal wheel, I managed to get one through this US site. www.sportscar-parts.com/steering_wheels.html

They don't list them all, but if you mail them I'm sure that they'll provide a list of all Personal wheels that are available.

Very late to this thread i know...but if you haven't found anything yet i have a brand new 'personal' steering wheel, still boxed, which was standard fit for my old Chimaera but was never fitted because i replaced it with a wooden one.
