Momo Steering Wheel Help
Hey guys,
Pulled an old Momo off my '68 912 when I had it and put it on the shelf. Cannot read the signature on the wheel, and was wondering if anyone knew what it said, or what model it was. It is dated 9/78. Thanks for any help!

Send a link to this thread to Pelican member "hesaputz." David knows more about steering wheels than anyone I know. And I know 45,000 Pelicans!

Looks like a Clay Regazzoni Momo wheel.

I agree with John. it is a Clay Regazzoni wheel. I had an identical wheel on my first Porsche.

Found this on Wikepedia for what its worth..
Gianclaudio Giuseppe "Clay" Regazzoni (September 5, 1939 – December 15, 2006) was a Swiss racing car driver. He competed in Formula One races from 1970 to 1980, winning five Grands Prix. His first win was the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in his debut season, driving for Ferrari. He remained with the Italian team until 1972. After a single season with British Racing Motors Regazzoni returned to Ferrari for a further three years, 1974 to 1976. After finally leaving Ferrari at the end of 1976, Regazzoni joined the Ensign and Shadow teams, before moving to Williams in 1979, where he took the British team's first ever Grand Prix victory, the 1979 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. He was replaced by Carlos Reutemann at Williams for 1980 and moved back to Ensign. Following an accident at the 1980 United States Grand Prix West he was left paralyzed from the waist down, ending his career in Formula One. Regazzoni did not stop racing, however; he competed in the Paris-Dakar rally and Sebring 12 hours using a hand controlled car during the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1996, Regazzoni became a commentator for Italian TV. He died in a car accident in Italy on December 15, 2006.

Momo made a bunch of these for different drivers over the years, similar style... Mine was a Jackie stewart... Not particularly valuable, but nice period wheel....
