Momo Jackie Stewart Steering Wheel
The wheel that marks the beginning of Momo’s Signature Series — and defines its feel to this day.

A steering wheel that changes how “small” feels
The Momo Jackie Stewart is one of those wheels that doesn’t explain itself. You only understand it once it’s in your hands.
My first Porsche came with a huge Monza wheel — 380mm, thin rim, slow steering, endless leverage. That was normal at the time. Big wheels matched heavy cars and missing power steering. Everything needed effort.
Then cars evolved.
Smaller steering inputs. Faster reactions. Less physical movement. And suddenly those oversized wheels felt like relics.
That’s where the Jackie Stewart wheel sits.
The first real shift in feel
350mm. Flat. Thick grip.
At first glance, nothing extreme. But the proportions change everything. The thicker rim fills your hands in a way earlier wheels didn’t. Not delicate, not minimal — just present.
It became the opposite of what I started with.
And that’s exactly why it stayed.
My first Jackie Stewart wasn’t mounted in a car for long. I bought it at a swap meet, used, black leather with honest wear. No plan for it. No matching project. It just felt right.
It never went into a vehicle again – it ended up on a wall.

Production markings – a moving target
What defines this wheel is not only its feel, but its inconsistency over time.
Early production runs carry the stacked Momo logo.
Later versions switch to “Made in Italy” markings, sometimes expanded with production codes such as M20340.
From 1977 onward, Momo moved to date stamping (month/year format).
Same wheel design — but different manufacturing eras embedded into it.
For collectors, this is where the Jackie Stewart becomes more than a steering wheel. It becomes a timestamped object.
Horn buttons – small hardware, clear evolution
The horn button changed quietly across production years.
Early versions: chrome ring around the switch
Later versions: black plastic ring
Signature variants also appeared in multiple color combinations:
Black with silver signature
Red with black signature
Yellow with black signature
All produced by Momo. All tied to the same wheel identity.
Small components, but they define the visual language of the wheel.
Jackie Stewart – the name behind the wheel
Sir Jackie Stewart entered Formula 1 in the mid-1960s with BRM. His career escalated quickly, but a serious accident in 1966 changed his focus permanently.
From that point on, safety became part of his identity in motorsport — long before it became standard practice.
His peak years came with Tyrrell:
World Championships in 1969, 1971 and 1973.
27 Grand Prix victories in total.
He left Formula 1 at the top, not after decline.
Why this wheel matters
The Jackie Stewart steering wheel reflects that same idea.
Controlled, direct, slightly uncompromising.
Not decorative. Not nostalgic. Functional first — but with identity built into the grip.
It’s one of the earliest Momo Signature wheels that clearly shows what the brand would become: racing influence translated into something you physically hold every time you drive.
