...Nice one; this is hard to come by. It was fitted for a very short
period of time to late '77 and early '78 cars. It took me the best part of
a year to find one to replace the awful Mountney thing the DPO had fitted to
my car...

...Yes, this is the wheel the that Nigel (Feb. 1978) has-and I've never been
to a show yet when someone hasn't tried to buy it from me!...
Well, it seems that I have done the opposite to Mike - my wheel was so
shoddy that I replaced it with a Mountney, and have been entirely happy with
it for several years now. Then again, I'm not such a stickler for
originality as Mike, who to a few people may appear a little obsessive... ;)
However, if this is such a desirable item to some, I'm very happy to part
with mine. If you can get the rim re-covered with new leather, a little
polish on the spokes and it will look fine. E-mail me and its yours for a
nominal fee plus postage.
On the subject, I remember Mike also getting obsessed over some clips that
hold the seat belt buckles when you are not wearing them. Shortly after he
eventually tracked them down, I discovered that I had a pair sitting in a
cardboard box in my garage... Again, I'm really not that bothered about
them, so if someone out there is a stickler for originality you can have
them for the same nominal fee plus postage - I should warn that the plastic
casing on both is rather cracked.
