Hello Mike, recently i purchased a 1600 MGA from 1960 and I am searching fot a good replica so i ended up at your site. There i saw a Original Segmented Rim with Mahogany. And it looks great!
Now the big questions are;
1. do you also send them off to the Netherlands (off al places)
2. Where do i look upto for such a steering wheel to have a indication.

Hope to hear from you.

Thank you.

Hi Mike, I’m looking for a teak steering wheel for my corvette. Do you have any currently in stock? If not what is the turnaround time if I sent you my original?
Best,

I have a rare 1954 four seater Morgan drophead coupe and would like a 4 spoke period wood wheel. Ideally it might be a banjo style, but with an aluminum boss and an aluminum rim that the stainless steel spokes would connect into. (I like having wheel that as as light as possible.) Would you also be able to fabricate the dash board as well as i would like some fairly exotic wood to match. How long do your orders take to date to do these days and what price range might I expect. When is a good time we might discuss this?
thankyou

Hi Mike, I own a rare Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans that originally had a Carlotti steering wheel. These break easily and are impossible to find nowadays. You seem to have a very similar wheel in stock, Les Leston Stirling Moss. I can send you pictures of a Carlotti installed in a different Harrington, and what is currently installed in my own Harrington. For this I need your regular email address. Perhaps we can make it fit with an appropriate hub etc. Thanks and regards Rudy, Switzerland.

Hello Mike,

I stumbled upon your website by chance, great stuff!
I have an Austin Healey 3000 Mk1 which came with a 15” Moto Lita Steering wheel.
I would be interested in replacing it with a 16” looking like the early style segmented rim 100S steering wheel. Would this be possible, and how would we proceed?
I have always preferred larger diameter steering wheels on old cars, and it would be nice to actually be able to see the gauges!

Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Mike: Sometime back I purchased a 100S wheel from you ( It's pictured in your gallery ). It has all by it self developed a few minor scratches on the metal surfaces. I was wondering what I might use to rub them out. when I received it, it was in perfect condition and I'm sure I don't know how the scratches got there I've only had it off 5 times since I installed it. Please advise. Bill Putnam, Walnut Creek California. PS: Please don't hold it ageist me because I'm from California. Thanks Bill

Mike, I need a Derrington wheel of solid color, mahogany or walnut, for my Morgan Plus 4 Coupe. How should it be attached? Originally had a large polished chrome nut in the center holding it in place.
Are you located in FL...I'm there next month and might be free to stop by to describe the need more fully than in a email.
What is the conventional cost for a 16" wheel?

Build time frame and of course cost. One extra thought I was kicking around the idea of reversing the wood on the wheel red line black outer and a blond rib at 12 o'clock. Any thoughts?

Hello Mike,
I am the proud and happy owner of a Jaguar MK2 from 1962.
A former owner has fitted the car with a 15" MotoLita wheel. The 15" makes the original unassisted steering very heavy. Can you quote a 17" Derrington style wheel ?

I have a Les Leston steering wheel. It is as new. Was part of a "thank you" plaque given to the now deceased host of a Ferrari Club of America gathering in May of 1965 or 1966 (I cannot remember which - I was a kid and thought I'd died and gone to heaven!) The wheel is wood, very light aluminum, and engine turned Would you like a picture? I'm thinking of selling it along with a '70's vintage Nardi wood wheel.

thank you,

Neil Mcgurk 06-Jan-2012 09:34
Hi Mike,

First of all would just like to say what a great site! I am a big MGA fanatic, with four at the moment. I am a real pedantic so I absolutely love the original wheel study. I have been planning for several years to put one of your wheels on my concours project. However, I have just acquired what I believe to be an original virtually as new and unrestored mahogany wheel.

I would very much appreciate your opinion. There are a couple of things that I didn't see any reference to (or I just missed) in the study. the wheel I received has MG/A stamped on the rear of the boss and the initials T.C.S are stamped into the mahogany in one of the rear indents.

I am very happy to supply some high res. images if you like. Although the wheel is in exceptional condition on close examination there is some slight crazing to the lacquer inside front surface of the wood and a crack across one of the rear wood segments. I would also very much like to discuss if and how this should be rectified.

Many thanks,

Neil

JL 28-Jan-2011 20:54
Hi Mike, I have Derrington Steering wheel and my question is similar to previous post from Snitzel Bros. How do I confirm it is genuine with so many good reproduction versions on the market. I took it off my 59 Porsche 356A (originally owned by famous record producer Mickie Most of RAK records in London). I believe it is original and it certainly looks it as I have no reason to doubt it but I'd like to be as certain as I can be. I intend to part company with it but I firstly need to know if it is genuine and if so expectations on value. Any information greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, John
Snitzel Brothers 13-Jan-2011 19:23
Hi Mike

Is there anyway to tell if a wheel is truly a Derrington wheel? Any markings or part numbers? I have a wheel that looks like them but seems to be an odd fit perhaps. Please email me if you have a chance. Thanks

Hi Mike... A number of AH members in the New England chapter of AHCA are interested in purchasing 3:54 ring and pinion sets. Do you still offer these for sale and if not how many sets do you need guranteed for an order? I realize you may have had problems in getting final payment in the past but we would be interested in paying up front into an escoll account or some other means to provide assurance to both you and the buyers.

Hi Mike,

Heck of a collection you've accumulated! I bought my wife a '68 MGB from an estate sale, and it has a nice teak wheel, one with chrome spokes & chrome center cap, but nothing truly standout. I was thinking about either a stock "banjo" wheel or a Les Leston. (I've been learning as much as I can in these 3 short weeks.) Do you have any of either style? I'm thinking the LL would be better because of its diameter. Any help or assistance would be appreciated from this Chicago boy!

Your engraving job on the Ferrari Steering wheel can be done on a CNC Machining Center
There are a lot of machines out there I have done that kind of work on my Haas machining
centers it goes real fast to do that job by hand would take forever. I saw your post on
Engravers Cafe. You can also make a new steering wheel from aluminum on the Haas.
You wil have to remove all of the old engraving from the wheel because you could never
relocate all of those wavy lines to engrave over them.

Nathan 19-Jul-2008 03:32
Mr. Lempert,
I have an AH 100-6 and am curious about the choice of wood steering wheel replacements. Is it all personal preference or is there a generally more revered hierarchy. For example, is a Les Leston more or less valuable than a motolita? Vintage vs. reproduction, drilled vs. slotted? Would you even put a Les Leston on a Healey or is it more commonly seen on other models? I would appreciate your tutelage. NL

Tom Carson 10-Mar-2006 16:24
Mike,

I want a price from you to make me a 16" flat, 3-spoke wheel on a Nardi pattern. The bottom spoke straight down, the other two horizontal, no slots in the spokes. Brazilian Cherry, Honey Golden Mahogany, or Rosewood. Does the price change between polished alloy and black anodized? How much additional for an inlay around the outside perimeter?

Aimed for my 1970 XJ6:

Mike,

Although we have never met, Gert gave me the information to contact you. I have been an advent (OK crazy) British car nut for many years on the side. Have been involved in restorations for over 16 years.

When Gert first emailed me you website, I got right down to business and looked at two steering wheels I need to have you quote and give me a lead time on. Then I started looking through your site. How very nice. A beautiful place and same for applies to your family. How refreshing it is to see a man that knows his priorities. All the other rest is just a bonus that comes from putting family first.

I wished I had known you earlier when you took your trip to Washington State. I live just south of Seattle near the Narrows Bridge in University Place Washington. That certainly was the trip of the lifetime with your son. The best grad gift possible.

I hope to get the chance to meet you and your family someday. Please look me and our family up if your up this way again.

Regards,
Pat

LOVED the pictures! What a gorgeous house! I had to laugh at the "coffee break"
picture (one of the 1st 10 or so pictures) because it looks like a picture of a
road crew in New Jersey WORKING!!!!!

Love,

hi.....we emailed you a while back about the Googe house we are planning to build in Rivertowne CC. Unfortunately, we haven't sold our house in Atlanta yet ( a real slow market). We spend lots of time in Charleston looking at our lot and doing a lot of wishing. We have had the preliminary discussions with Hilton and are so ready to start this project. Hilton gave us a list of preferred builders and Flanders is one of them. Our question is.....now that you have completed your project, how satisfied are you with him. By the way, we drove by your house last month....very nice. We were surprised that it was not completed. We have been told that our house would be finished in about 7 months....is that unrealistic? We want to bid out to several builders and are considering Flanders...please share your thoughts. Thanks. Bobbie and Dwight

Distinquished - not old. Great pictures! Do you think we could get some music to go with them. I'll take any of the Austin Healy "B" cars, although I'm partial to blue and green.
