I have a 62 "box" Sprite MK II and I have what appears to be a factory wood
wheel. I assume we are talking about steering wheels right? I have three
spokes, one going to each side and one going down. The horn button has a
lightning bolt on it. If this is the one you are talking about I would be
happy to measure it for you and send you the specs. I have a question for
anybody on the list that can answer it. Is the steering wheel I just
described the original wheel for my 1962 MK II Sprite? Thanks.

Healeys in their works and semi works cars. I don't believe it to be the
Moto-Lita because it has to be mounted so that the 3rd spoke is straight up
and this puts the moto-lita label upside down (which is not what I would
have expected of the company).
I know there have been some so called 'repros' about but don't know for
sure what to look for.
Thanks for your assistance,

PS: Frogeye is now green, (was red, originally blue, ownership said it was
white.) Good chance I will drive it in 2000.
