orionmojo Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 and the bloke in the post office counter asked what the steering wheel was off, i said a mk2 cortina expecting to say, oh yeah, i had one of those.... but no! he said, have you got any more? no i replied, why? turns out he's got a mk1 lotus he's just imported from africa . its not complete but is 100% original, and as you'd imagine completly rot free aparently. i dunno if its left or right hand drive though. i gave him the website addy too
RFChris Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Should be a right hooker if its from africa....well, south africa anyway. Get some pics! Chris

orionmojo Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 cooolwhys he want a mk2 wheel though i dunno, they're pretty similar though aren't they? and your not gonna get a good lotus one anymore. wood in cars was always a crap idea, especially leaky old fords
Chris!

And lotus cortina wheels are completly different, come up on ebay every now and again, sell for about £500
V8ian Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 an E wheel probably looks better than the delaminated piece of poo that has been left in the SA sun too long.
orionmojo Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 an E wheel probably looks better than the delaminated piece of poo that has been left in the SA sun too long. thats what my thoughts were, although if someone could restore it it could be good, but i thought they all just snapped anyway and yes it was a 1600e wheel
