Does any one know where I can get a hold of a genuine mini clubman GT steering wheel from?

[surfblue63]

Ebay or a Mini show are the best places to try and find one.

 

By the way a 1275GT wheel has leather covered rim, the standard Clubman wheel does not. There are also two type of wheel. The earlier cars had a 3-spoke and later cars had a 2-spoke wheel.

There is a guy on ebay selling new old stock Clubby steering wheels for £24, they are fantastic, the real thing and new and unused, I bought one for my Clubby, all you need then is the 1275 GT centre cap, they do come up for sale now and again but I dont reckon you would have too much trouble finding one at a show.

yes I saw them on ebay are they the same thing that they fitted to the GT?

The 1275GT also had the depressed sections of the spokes painted silver but you could easily mask it up and paint them yourself.

thats the want I want        

[miniman24]

The leather part is only a cover, its a standard wheel underneath - a cover could be made or bought and the spokes painted silver for not much money, Ive never seen a genuine 1275 GT wheel for sale, so you could be waiting for a while!

[milkybar.kid]

good point, I have mailed the guy on ebay asking if he has any of the badges

[jpw1275]

heres one on ebay.... item number is 181158567331

cheers james

[miniman24]

Id definitely get a bid on that, if its too far away to collect and he wont sort out postage, message him asking if it is ok to arrange your own courier and go through parcel2go.com, will cost like £5 or 6. Never seen one for sale on ebay before!

I see the 1275GT centre is orange around the outside whereas the Clubman one is black, or is it just the light?

[A-Cell]

Correct for centre colours but there is a bigger, more obvious difference. Clubman centre says "Clubman" and GT one says "1275 GT".
