MG TD TF 1500 - Used steering wheel needed

Listeners - We have a friend and long time T series enthusiast in our local 'T' Register, who has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and needs to sell off his cars. The TD he wants to sell has a special steering wheel that his mother picked up for him in England many years ago that he wants to keep and is looking of a used wheel at a reasonable price to replace it with before selling the car. Is there anyone out there who has such they are willing to part with?

Hi David

Pending how bad a condition you are prepared to accept for the replacement I can assist for the price of freight from Aus to the US. The wheel I received when I bought my TF restorer is baly deteriorated around the rim and will not be provided with the centre boss.

Let me know if you want to proceed.

Dave,

I have a TD/C (gray marble) wheel in ? shape (couple of 5/64ths cracks radial and some breakdown at the spokes I can let go for $50 plus mailing. I have a near perfect gold-tone one worth about $200 (what I paid for it) and I have NOS TD/C one that is worth $650. The two good ones adorn my wall above where I am typing. The "bad" one is original to my beast.

John, if the TD/C wheel is still available, I might be interested. Marv TD/C 12828

Wished I still had my spares!

Before I ride in our TDs (wife's cars/wife drives), I pull them out of the garage for 2 reasons: the carb might run gas all over the garage floor (think furnace and water heater pilot lights); and the second reason is, I like to open the passenger door and squirm in.

When she pulls them out, I'd scream, "...don't pull on the steering wheel!" She went through 2 steering wheels in the space of 1 week this summer!

John - If the TDC wheel will fit on a standard TD, that may be something that can be used. This request is for a friend and founding member of our local 'T' Register. He has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and has to sell off his cars due to financial problems associated with the diagnosis. The steering wheel on his TD is one his mother picked up for him when she was in England and he wants to keep that wheel. I will check and see if what you have, is what he wants. Thank you - Dave

Dan - My e-mail to you bounced back for some reason. Please e-mail me at SUfuelpumps@donobi.net with what you have. Cheers - Dave

I have a spare excellent steering wheel - gold pearl with MG centre boss. Has been professionally restored in the early nineties.

I will be pleased to swap it for a TF hand crank handle in vgc.

regards,

Jan

Hi,
just out of interest, what is the difference between a TDC wheel and a standard wheel.

I think they're the same size but not sure of color changes specific to the MKII. Marvin
