You will not find an Original NOS 904 Porsche Les Leston steering wheel in this condition for sale anywhere Worldwide.
New flawless condition.
- The engraving on the spokes is in excellent condition and ORIGINAL. The engraving on this steering wheel is chrome-plated over the engraving. (Les Leston replicas are not chrome-plated over the engraving).
- The varnish on the inner frame of the steering wheel has been newly done because it had some small corrosion spots. You can see the repair of this flawless steering wheel on the pictures below the description.
- The correct original amber varnish has been replaced on the 3mm wide inner frame diameter.
- The steering wheel spokes and hub have only been polished.
- The wooden rim was flawless and did not need any repair.
- This Les Leston has a unique horn button retainer Patent: You have to turn the horn button top cap which will remove and just push the horn button out of the ring.
I never saw such a genial patent before on a steering wheel. It prevents damaging the horn button. For example, it is a terrible experience to release any Porsche 356A horn button from standard VDM steering wheels!
This is the last one of two 904 GT original Les Leston steering wheels from my Private Collection.
I sold 1 similar used 904 Les Leston steering wheel through Ebay in 2016.
SOLD through Ebay 09/05/2016
