They look fantastic Mike, if I didn't have the original Les Leston/Walsall Wheels steering wheel for my 1968 Plus 4 (which was actually fitted as an optional extra in the factory), I'd be beating a path to your door.
As an aside, I've submitted a few adverts to the For Sale and Wanted section but they don't seem to get approved for some reason, whilst other peoples do.
As I have couple of sheds full of Morgan part collected since the 1970's to thin out, it seems that they'll have to go in the back of Miscellany or on eBay!

Mine hasn't either, Arwyn. Yes, the Walsall wheels were options as was the wheel I call TOK. The TOK was one made by Bluemel's during a span in the late '50s and early '60s. I have named the wheel after the Le Mans winning car, TOK 258. The design was also used on the Falcon bodied Sprite, then reduced in diameter for the Sprite Sebring cars. More were made for other marques with slight changes in spoke orientation but always that uniquely shaped slot. The most produced was for the MGA and I have made well over 100 for those enthusiastic folks.

Don’t come down too hard on Mike. He’s posted many times in the Three Wheeler section regarding his wheels and a number of owners particularly in the States have them. They are works of art. I’ve been tempted in the past but I keep changing wheels so not exactly cost effective for me. Thanks, Jay. I enjoyed the discussions with the M3W folks. When I put these posts out there, there is an opportunity to engage in discussion about the steering wheels made for the cars, what is appropriate, what is not, and why. Very little has been documented about steering wheels. And by the way, if you like the Ghost design, it's available.
