John Cooper Signed Moto-Lita Steering Wheel & Cooper Gearknob
 
Steering wheel is in very good overall condition with a few marks here and these (you can see a small mark on the leather in the picture) commensurate with its age.
The gearknob has a crack on the enamel badge but is still very presentable.
 
The wheels are rare to find in good condition these days and Minisport sell them for over £400!
 
There are some on eBay cheaper than this but I've seen one of these in person and they are not the genuine signed article, they are moto-lita but the signature has been added with an engraver at a later date.
 
 
£250ono for the pair
 
Located in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
 
I'd prefer collection or meet up to a reasonable distance as I wouldn't want it to get damaged in transit but I will post at fully insured at your cost if necessary.

They look like they're out of a Triumph 2000 to me...

I've seen the fakes on Ebay. The "John Cooper" signature looks rubbish. Good luck with sale.

No, not at all. Sorry, i can see how that might have come across wrong. The one for sale here is genuine. I have seen fakes on ebay which were obvious because of the quality of the Cooper signature. Again, the one here is legit.
