Lovely Formuling France steering wheel, as good as they come c/w boss for 60-73 Beetle and the much more desirable early horn push. £120-.



Superior shifter, good brite chrome and good working order. Supplied with original 'plastic box' gaiter or a new rubber Hurst type one, and either a wooden or a black knob, your choice. £120-.



Both plus p&p (approx £10 for the wheel and £7 for the shifter) or collection from Wirral, M53 junction 3 area.

Hi Dave

what size is the wheel? And do you know how deep the dish is?

sizes are pretty standard for an FF, I don't think they did many variations. Dia. is 13", dish is only slight but the boss is quite deep, total depth of wheel and boss combined is around 6" so plenty of knuckle to stalk clearance.

i feel that I NEED the shifter.
for no real reason, i actually really like the one I have already.

but this looks nice, and it would be a shame for me to buy it from you just for the sake of owning it if someone else wants it to use.
where as I would keep it for a rainy day change.
keep me posted of no one wants it bud.

'Tis truly a thing of beauty, need to raise some cash as the (formerly) faithful Chevy needs a new engine  :'(

I'm sure we could come to some arrangement.

I like arrangements I do.

But alas I just gave away my spare engine, and I doubt it would fit in the Chevy anyway !

( to be honest giving stuff away was your doing, you started the ball rolling on donating stuff, and suggesting sticking money in charity boxes rather than paying )

But if no one wants it then happy to look after it for you. ( I'm really nice I am!)
