An old friend saw me working on my Golf at work some months ago, he did his apprenticeship at a local VW dealership (Castles, now Reg Vardy) in the early 80s, and now works at the local Bentley dealers, in conversation, he happened to mention a steering wheel, that was mounted on the wall, in the parts dept, where it hung for around 15yrs, it never got sold, probably due to its £200+ price tag! the dealership was relocated, and the steering wheel was liberated! and somehow managed to end up in my mates loft... so, never used, today it ended up in my possession, and is awaiting fitment to my Valver
Its a Votex (13inch, as O/E) black leather, red hand stitching and really is in mint condition, apart from the dust thst is, I believe that these steering wheels were an approved VW option for the GTIs, hence it being on the wall at the dealers all those years ago..
scene points, you tell me! :evil:(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f90/thom62/27fab0dd.jpg)(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f90/thom62/2f24e4fe.jpg)

Nice find, but don't really much like the look of it. I bet if feels nice though.

I know what you mean Jay, and I'm not actually sure that I like it myself, that said, the pics really dont do it justice, and at around 25 years old, has a very dated look, but high in quality.. I'll fit it, and see if it grows on me...

You could probably get £200 for it on Ed38, maybe more depending on how many scene points they will get for having it :grin:

I have some random wheel on my gti thats apparently worth a fair amount. It has 4 horn buttons on it for some mental reason?? Here is a link to a pic (this is not my actual one but its exactly the same)

Not really worth much that dude. I tell you what i'll give you £5 for it. :wink:
A friend of mine picked up a GTi engineering wheel similar to that but with 3 spokes for £3 at a car booty. He then went on to sell it for £146 on e bay the same week.
I rekon yours should be worth more than that. :smiley:

Lol, the guy who sold me the car said that throughout his life he has had people comming up to him offering money for it in carparks, trafficlights and laybys. His last offer was from some random bloke knocking on his door offering him £100. When he said no he jumped straight for £200. Me thinks im keeping it on the car!
-
Well here it is fitted, as soon as it was on I knew it was going to stay, contrary to my doubts!
