Just wondering how many different Clubman original steering wheels came out from 71 to 78.??? I know that two spoke with the triangle centre was In the early ones but my van has a 3 spoke very chunky looking wheel.
Is this an after market wheel or where these fitted as origanal for the later 78 cluuby

Cheers

I can only think of four different wheels fitted to Aussie Minis.
61 to 69. Two spoke with big round centre with the "M" horn button.
69 to 7?. Two spoke with soft triangle centre.
7? to 78. Three spoke with round centre.
76 to 78. Three spoke Sports wheel fitted to SS and LS.

Mini King used to have some new ones a while back, I don't know if he still does. I think that they were actually a Sports wheel for the Morris/Leyland Marina and they used them on the Minis to get rid of them after the Marina was axed in 74. :lol:

Your photo asks for a login and password = can't be viewed.

I have a very nice steering wheel that came of ebay ex UK.

Its off a rover mini and has been recovered in a coloured leather with foam underneath. Smaller than the bus type normal mini steering wheel and has a nice chunky feel about it

The only down size about it is that in a clubby with a three gauge setup the smaller chunky wheel obscures all sppeds over 120 kmh. :lol:
