It'll be interesting to see if it sells. I think this guy is dreaming. Evidently he has a slew of new Nardis.

On the other hand..... I could be wrong.

Nardi wheels come in many flavors. Some....most, probably....were [very beautiful] aftermarket accessories but some were unique OEM specification on certain cars. The latter in new or mint used condition could demand very high prices....probably into the $1000s. I'm not sure about the one in question......garden variety Nardi or something special?

As of 6-7 years ago the standard wood Nardi wheel ("Classic" or some such name) was still available new for about $400-$500 as I recall....plus another $100 or so for the hub. I haven't checked recently. If they're out of production....and I'm not saying they are....then any remaining NOS stock could indeed be valuable.

A few years ago a guy Asia...Hong Kong, I think it was....was selling loads of very nice used Nardi wheels for about $100-$150 each on Ebay. The trick is finding the right hub...especially for Jags !

I've bought a couple gorgeous Nardis for $150 or so over the years....and was lucky enough to get the Jag hub included :-). One of them might've been from the HK guy. I can't remember.

Beautiful steerings wheels that look great in a Jag.

Cheers
