Hey guys, I have a 1990 Eunos V-Special, the one in British racing green with the tan interior and leather seats etc.
I currently don't have an original steering wheel and want to buy one, the only thing is I cant for the life of me find out what the part number is?
I have called Mazda in Australia but they cant help me because Mazda Australia didn't import them, I know its a Nardi wooden one and have emailed Nardi and am waiting to hear back from them. I have looked on Google images and it has black spokes with the wooden surround and Nardi horn, but I don't know the diameter or part number, can anyone help me please> The cheapest new ones I can find is on Amazon of all places for $299, but I want to buy the right one.
Thanks for you advice in advance

You won't find a part no. Even if you did, Mazda would charge you a million dollars for one.
Just match it by the picture.
I've got a damaged one, but no horn ring (they are expensive). Just checked it, no part no. on it, just Made in Italy and a serial number.

Thanks for that Bruce, is yours an original if so what diameter is it? Cheers

Big. 370mm
Most replacements are a little smaller, and block the dials.

Thanks again, good point about blocking the dials.

If you've not already, then worth looking through old for sale ads on this forum as Nardi V Special steering wheels do get advertised from time to time, & while popular, I'd be surprised if they all sold. Plus some info & pics follow:
