MOMO NIKI LAUDA 370mm STEERING WHEEL
A very rare 370mm Momo signature steering wheel
A lot of collectors that I know started somehow with the Momo Signature Series and I am one of them. Everyone has his favourites but truth be told, I collected all of them, everything I could get and there are still boxes with steering wheels that I haven’t had the chance to open yet. This one here is a very very rare version from the famous Momo Signature Series: the Momo Niki Lauda 370mm Steering Wheel version.

What’s so special about the Momo Niki Lauda 370?
Well, you might have read the article about the Momo signature series and you might even remember, that those steering wheels were all available in 350mm diameter. And there were to exceptions in 320mm, the Momo Jacky Ickx and the Momo Gilles Villeneuve.
And there was another exception: the only Momo signature series steering wheel that was available in 370mm diameter. The Momo Niki Lauda 370.
Unfortunately, just like with all the other Momo signature steering wheels, there are no production numbers available. What I can say is, while having had or seen about one hundred Momo Niki Lauda 350mm steering wheels, I’ve only seen two in 370mm. One in black from my buddy John and this one here in silver with lovely patina.

Rumours about this particular wheel
A fellow named David pointed me in another direction. This kind of wheel came factory fitted in a 1981 Alfa Romeo Alfetta sedan ‘Sportiva’ in Australia. The ‘Sportiva’ & ‘Sportiva II’ were made 1981 – 1985 and were basically a dress-up limited edition pack for Alfetta sedan. It was basically – Campagnolo wheels, stripes down the side & a Momo steering wheel. Not sure, how many were made nor whether it was an Australian model only or not. I am still looking for information on that subject, brochures and stuff. If you got something, let me know!
