DaveD Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Well here it is. As fitted to the Austin Allegro way back in 1979. No manufacturer ever fitted one since. I quite liked it really. http://en.wikipedia....ering_wheel.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Well here it is. As fitted to the Austin Allegro way back in 1979. No manufacturer ever fitted one since. I quite liked it really. http://en.wikipedia....ering_wheel.jpg looks good, you could always retro fit a new wheel to your existing model ;) i nearly broke my front teeth changing steering wheel before, i should have removed the nyt then put it back on by half a turn, before pulling the wheel off of the bolt. is their any reason why no other car fitted one since ?

DaveD Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yeh I fell for that old nut trick when I was heaving a mini steering wheel off back in the '60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveD Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 The 1750 was a bit TOO big for that car but a great engine. I nearly bought an Allegro 1750 but it was a bit too pricey so I went for the Mini 1100 special instead. If only I had kept it it would be easy worth 8k these days.
