Hell again, its me!

I am looking for a replacement steering wheel for my 1983 HE.

Now then, I was thinking of a nice chunky wooden one but quite like the leather chunky ones (non Airbag).

I would love a Momo like this but they are silly prices,

Just lovely!
I don't mind getting one re-furbed.

I missed out on one a few weeks ago...duh!

Does anyone have a spare for sale?

This is what's in the car just now, can they be reconditioned?

Although, this one is 400mm or just short of 16"...I would prefer slightly smaller.


Thank you.

Gee.

 

Gee,

Will have something nice for you in about two weeks if you're interested, will let you know as it may be pricey (custom mods).....

 

Sounds good, could you possibly send me a pic and an idea of how much please?

Gee.

 

Hello:

Yes, the OEM wheel is really big (I think mine is 41 mm...). I also always liked the wooden steering wheels, so years ago I decided to change it.

I looked at the Moto Litas, but I think they still look more classic and don't quite fit the car (in an E Type are fantastic, but I think there is a difference in style with the XJS). Finally my choice was for an Italian Nardi: elegant, with a smaller diameter than the OEM, a slight sporty touch, high quality ... But remember that the original leather wheel always has a better feel than a wooden one, which is more slippery and thinner.

Here you can see similar views of my car to compare. Anyway, I have kept the original in perfect condition and I will put it back some day.

 

It transforms it, lovely looking wheel.

Gee.

 

A Nardi always looks good in Jags of this vintage. You can't go wrong. Classic good looks; never over-the-top or gaudy.

Nice used Nardi wheels come up all the time on Ebay for relatively small money. Budget in another $150 or so for the hub kit and horn button, though

Cheers

$150 you say...is that with the car?

 

I'd go with the 4-spoke wheel used by TWR in both their enhanced cars and their '82–'86 ETCC race cars:

In the race car:



In the early TWR-enhanced cars before the switch was made to MOMO wheels in the JaguarSport XJR-S cars:




Can't go wrong with this wheel. It's been used in competition, and in the fastest XJSs ever driven.

 

I have a black leather Nardi steering wheel I just took off an 88 XJS I parted out.
$50 plus shipping

 

I just sent a PM.

 

I was never a Nardi fan until i got a car with one! Huge and skinny. Brightens up an otherwise shabby car.

 

Mota Lita for me!

 

Hi there, does it have the airbag? I don't want the airbag, car too early to have an airbag.

Can you either post a pic or send me a pic please.

Does that price include the boss?

Thank you.

Gee.

 

Look a nice chunky wheel, its growing on me but I would prefer a wooden wheel or a half wood half leather, like the modern XJ but without the airbag.

Gee.

 

Great pictures and nice car!

Does the Nardi wheel block any of the gauges and or turn signals?

Thank you!

 

I think I have a Nardi wheel in one of my parts bins in the garage.
PM me for text info. (I have trouble posting pic's here)
I am sure I can do you better than $150.

 

Thanks

Gauges not, but it does cover the turn signals in the dash due to smaller diameter, although it's not a big problem because you can hear them

 

Thanks for the information and I appreciate the quick reply!
