What did I find today? It says Raid Nuova on the back and Dino on the front???




I found a few other things today as well at a junk yard I came across. I have done some googling, but came up empty.
I also came across this.......

raid makes inexpensive momo/nardi knockoff steering wheels. i have had a few in some of the e30's i've acquired over the years. i would say restore it and run it in your car. i think it looks pretty decent.

just like the other steering wheel post from today, don't expect that it would have great resale value, but there is no reason not to use it if you like the style.

I'm not looking to resell, I wanted a wood wheel for my 1 car and I'm looking for another for my 2nd car. Out of curiosity what do you think it's worth? I am going to try to keep the patina. I got it for $20

um....i would guess its worth somewhere between 100-150.00? i haven't checked the pricing.

i have been blessed to find 4 amazing steering wheels in junk yards over the years.

the first was in an old jag. it was a nardi classic woodline with horn button and ring. the diameter is a little big for an e30, but i absolutely love that wheel.

the second was the early style 4 spoke alpina wheel. the leather was trashed but it was only 18 bucks.

number 3 was a nardi personal wood wheel in an mg. it is about the diameter of the one you pictured above. the finish was thrashed. we put it in my son's car and he is still using it today.

number 4 was a wood momo in really nice shape also out of a shaguar. this is the wheel i am running in my mtech 2.

all of them were around 18.00 in the pick a parts. this is why i love going to these junk yards. you never know what kind of treasure you might find. i would say the wheel you have there was a hell of a good score. definitely put it in your car and rock the shit out of it!

btw....if you are curious, the type of wood your wheel is made of is mahogany. the black strip is most likely an inlaid piece of black plastic.

I was to happy to find this. My father in law didn't get it. I knew it wasn't good per say but I have been looking for just this.

I see random posts about the numbers on the Temp gauge. What's this about? Rare, model specific?
