Cheers guys. We think Waldegard used a special one without the holes that somehow better suited him - maybe for safety reasons.
The photo that Vince posted is the same car, different driver, it's Robin Ulyate's number 6 1977 Safari car.

As Guy says, the Miura wheel is too large in diameter.
Quite a few of the Ferrero wheels had that six bolt fitting ring in the centre. I know the photo of the Waldergard car doesn't, but it could be used to disguise a Monte MOMO wheel, and to have the bolts on the larger circle and in between each of the existing holes?
I think some early Integrales had a similar three spoke steering wheel to the MOMO Monte one.
It looks like the bend in the spokes is on a straight line.
So it would be much easier to make one up than (for example) it would be for the 4 spoke Stradale wheel.
I remember Gerry said the four spoke one needed some tooling because the bend for the dish is on a radius.
The two spoke Ferrero wheels also have a bend on a straight line, so they could possible be cut and formed too. The two spokes do tend to come up for sale much more often than the others though. When I say 'often', I mean twice a year!
The bend is curved, looking at the lower spoke

Yes, I think you might be right.Originally Posted by davehanman
The radius should be the same as the Stradale Ferrero, so I wonder what Gerry's tooling consists of?
Still not the right one and yet even more expensive..

That's the same as a Miura wheel. 'Looks like the seller doesn't realise that, but knows it's rare?
