Hi Phillip,
I think it would be interesting and most helpful to have the photos you mention of Bleumels and Ashby steering wheels posted to the site, perhaps under a separate thread so it can be found and referred to by its title, rather than buried in this ( very interesting ) thread.
The Ashby wobbly spoke steering wheel is something I want very much to see back on Charlotte in top shape. It's such a limited and model-specific feature of the '36s. Was it used on any other years or models than the Nine?
Cheers, and Stay Safe, All.
