Hiya,

I was going through my steering wheels and can't identify this one.

At first glance I thought it was Peter Manton, as the logo is similar to an accelerator pedal I have.

Maxrob?

It is similar to Les Lestons I have but can't be as no LL stamping?

Can anyone help?

It is 16 inches in diameter and flat.

I'm not selling - it is now on the garage wall - just curious.

ta! Jon

I've got an old MAXROB but it just says MAXROB, unless they had a logo at some stage like that.

I don't know what your wheel is Jon, I will ask on another forum, I'm sure I will get an answer.

It took a while and the help of three different forums but I finally got an answer.

It seems that it was made in Australia by MCA accessories. Or at least it was made for them.

Hiya,

Wow! Thanks morris. Superb research!

Good to know it's rare as it's part of a nice wall collection.

Can't have any rubbish alongside the lestons and moto-litas :D

Cheers Jon
