Jamie. Do you have a pic please? Ken

No problems. I'll try and get one with the best light I can so you can see the colour.

Cheers

I've taken a couple of pictures next to a black wheel so it's easier to distinguish the dark brown.
 

 

 

Thanks for that. I have not seen one of these before. Under what circumstances were they fitted and what sort of $ are you chasing please.

The sports wheel was an option on most, possibly all, small Ford models of the late 60's / early 70's. In Australia, I think they were only available in black for some reason (e.g. Aussie Mk1 Capris always had a black dash/wheel/console regardless of trim colour), but they colour matched interiors in the UK.

The brown wheel I have was originally from the UK. The leather rim is coloured dark brown, but the centre pads were all originally made of black rubber and painted to match the trim.

The leather on this wheel is very good considering the age, and just needs restitching on the bottom join (leather is not torn, just the stitching has come loose). It has a few small marks on the leather rim, but a leather restoration shop would bring it up very well.

I only want replacement value, or a straight swap for a comparible black wheel. I think it would cost around $250 to replace.

Let me know if you want more photos emailed. I'm in Canberra.

Cheers
Jamie

Hi Jamie. Still interested but would like to take up your offer of more photo please. The other issue is there appears to be rust on the chrome when looking at the picture. What is your advice on that? Thanks, Ken
