seth Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I went straight to the PerfMk1 site when I saw your post but didn't find the Steering wheel bit Claypole's linked.

Rocket88 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Les Leston stuff [not just wheels] is extremely sought after. If you see anything at car boots etc with his name on it, buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
