Pretty cool yeah.

Anyone know if its off a particular model or year mini?
or not orignal mini at all? or an old aftermarket part?
Whats the logo?

not sure on the make, but the centre bit looks like a giant eyeball!

[CHUNKY365]

Looks like a 'Les Leston' aftermarket wheel, quite sought after.

Any one else know anything about it?

Is it worth owwt? not that il be selling it really, was planning on putting it on my bedroom wall

[Mini Cheddars]

Looks like one my mate has in his Sidewalk.

[Shifty]

I've got a feeling thats a very(very) valuable wheel!!

£200ish

[Tupers]

Yep that's a Les Leston wheel, fitted to Jags, Ferraris and other expensive cars of the 60s and quite sought after.


Search Les Leston on eBay and you'll find quite a few at £200 plus.

[ANON]

they can vary in price on fleabay, on a very bad day £125 ish, on a good day £200 plus.

if you sell it on there list it world wide and you'll get the best price, i've sold five or six on there over the years and they've all gone abroad.

[Mini Cheddars]

Not the exact same though.

Nice find to keep. Would probably sell on ebay to a Mini buyer from Japan.
