At such a low starting price, I think it's not real.

38cms seems realistic for an F1 steering wheel of that era. The concerning thing is that there is no certificate of authenticity, no way to prove it is a genuine article.

Then again I know the Cotswolds and know there are a few specialist car dealers and garages there which have in the past run historic race cars including F1 machinery. So it could be the real deal.

I contacted the seller about the steering wheel and this is the response I received

Quote:
i brought it as part of a job lot from an ex-Alfa F1 mechanic about 10 years ago. I'm having a clearout of my collection to make way for a couple of new pieces, so this one is up for sale. From memory, there are some details stamped into the back of the steering wheel.

Yeah that's a good idea. When they aren't able to pass with Indycars they sure will be able to do it with F1.

3800mm is like a normal car steering wheel...no way that was used in an F1 car.

Ordinarily I'd agree, but with KERS, DRS and Pirelli that's a whole different ball game these days.

Chris Pook knows what he's doing too, I'd put more faith in him than some flash in the pan US promoters....

That discussion over that plausible Alfa Romeo F1 steering wheel reminded me of Pawn Stars...."Hey, Chum Lee, call Dana Linett, the specialist in old artifacts" :D

I didn't think it seemed unrealistic at first, but I've just had a pretend drive with a 30cm ruler, and remembered sitting in both a 1965 BRM P261 (different era I know) and a 1977 Renault RS01 (again, slightly different time) and both weren't exactly spacious even for a (then) 17 year old weighing about 60kg ... so I imagined an extra 8cm on the side of the ruler and it definitely seemed a bit big. This is probably the most scientific test ever done. :beard:

3.8m seems slightly excessive, lol. :-P

Here are some photos I took from the Donington collection. A few steering wheel shots in there. I wish I had held a tape measure against them now...

But personally I also think 38cm is a bit too big for a late 70s F1 steering wheel.

Interesting comment.
