Steering Wheel Identification

#1 Post by Jim Wayman »

Can anyone identify the maker of this steering wheel. It is 400mm, flat spokes, Pre A and A splines, non-cancelling.

Victor

I think you are right. Derringtons seem to be the same.

Thanks,

Jim

It is indeed a Derrington, if we accept the photographic evidence on Page 145 of Doctor Brett Johnson's 356 Porsche's Restorer's Guide IV.
His work is quite accurate in my opinion.
