Momo Signature Series – the ultimate guide

The story behind the Signature wheels

The Momo Signature Series wasn’t just a clever idea or a marketing move – it became the starting point for countless steering wheel collections.

Each special edition wheel carried the autographs of racing legends like Jackie Stewart, Clay Regazzoni, Jacky Ickx, and Niki Lauda. Horn buttons were customized too, each featuring an illustration of the driver’s helmet, adding an extra touch that made these wheels instantly recognizable. Unsurprisingly, the series quickly became a favorite among enthusiasts and collectors, earning its place as a must-have in the world of racing memorabilia.
