Has anyone got any suggestions about sourcing a walnut rimmed steering wheel for my Griff 500?. Apparently TVR have ceased supplying these.

Post here 'cos I like the look of them too. The people that do the genuine Irvin flying jackets do sell the wooden rim steering wheels, but I don't really like their designs.

The saying 'like gold dust' comes to mind.

The original TVR supplied wheels were made by Nardi and cost £150 each, but production ceased a couple of yeas ago. The only ones you will find now are on the second hand market.

I rather stupidly sold mine with the car, at the time it was no use because I got a cerbera ! I did put an ad out earlier in the year for one but got no response other than from someone also wanting one!

Best of luck.

Hi,

I have a original TVR wooden one in my 93 Chim i think it's a walnut finish, it matches the dash which i believe is walnut. I'm currently looking at changing it for a Momo wheel which i have seen and will be selling the wooden wheel soon. I'm not really sure of the valve of it, it has no marks on the wood, is nice and shiney and has three polished spokes and the matching centre disk.

Any ideas?
