Sold Momo steering wheel

Hi everyone,

let me start by wishing all here a happy and healthy 2021. With a year like 2020 behind us, we can relate better than ever...

Few days ago i received a reminder, saying that my 1yr subscription had come to an end. That made me realise that amongst my new years resolutions for 2020 was written: sell some steering wheels from the collection. As it often goes with NY resolutions, that's what it remained at and instead of thinning out the heard, i did what i like best, continue to build the evergrowing collection of (mostly momo) steering wheels.
Unfortunately, my house didn't grow along and the problem i was starting to face last year, has become an actual issue now. Therefor, time to renew that subscription and actually do something with it this year...

Up for sale is a wheel which may not sound very exotic at first, as the cavallino model isn't something i consider as a rare steering wheel. However, this is a special one, mostly because of the very uncommon color. In addition it has the rare 'donut' in the center which is something you hardly ever see. When i obtained this wheel i planned to look into it, hoping i would find some reliable info or paperwork but momo itself couldn't help me out, nor did the time i was able to spend on it (time, the main enemy...). And in all honesty, i don't know my way around as well in ferrari circles. I don't believe the cavallino itself ever was OE to a certain ferrari model, but i could be wrong here as well. Thing is, something tells me this particular wheel might have been something different, i don't know. Either way, i thought there might be some interest here since it's really unusual and in great condition as well. Would match well with a similar toned interior...

Interesting to know is the diameter of the wheel, 38cm. For condition, i think it's best to refer to the pics as they show better than any words. Simply said: I've been collecting intensive for quite some years now and I haven't seen another like it.

Asking 550Eur + shipping/paypal. Bank wire is option too if preffered.


Best wishes,
Robin

No takers yet. Not the right wheel for the ferrari crowd on here?

 

Hi Bigtex,


I agree, red leather might work well, I hadn't even considered that option as tan was the first color to come to mind.

And you're right as well on the "donut". Personally I prefer the look without it myself as well although as a collector, I do know to appreciate it since I know it's a very unusual piece. The black cavallino version for example, never came with the round donut pad. Those that did have a center pad, had a triangular one.

On the missing date stamp, momo didn’t date any of it’s wheels before 1977 which could be a clue here. But the cavallino has been made over a long period making it a wheel that doesn’t look out of place in a lot of models.

Lastly, oh no, if I even were to know the buyer of this wheel would be retrimming the wheel in black, I wouldn’t even sell it. This wheel is too good and too special for that. And I’ve got plenty of black versions to offer at the same time… ;-)

 

Thanks for the offer but the wheel sold yesterday, i hadn't made it to update yet.
