Default question about what steering wheel this is?

Hi all new to the site,
currently own an E46 BMW 320td compact and a good ol' transit but looking for an accident damaged 3 or 5 door ST3 to repair.

i have been helping clear out my friends old grandma's house and i have come accross a mint ford steering wheel with (from memory) 4 metal spokes and leather with a ford badge in the middle, her hubby who passed away a fair few years back was a ford man and it looked too good to throw away, a quick look on ebay brought up a very similar ford rs cosworth wheel?

if i upload some pics can someone shed some light on it for me?

i also have a polished aluminium ford 6 speed gear shifter that i seem to have aquired from somewhere but i dont know what thats off either, again

if i load some pics can anyone tell me the model its from?


Thanks in advance

James

the steering wheel is probably the standard rs 4 spoke, but it depends on what boss it's got attached to it as they vary from car to car

the shifter, get a pic up to confirm

Pretty sure the gearknob is a Richbrook item rather than a Ford. Can't help with the steering wheel though

Richbrook stuff is licenced by Ford so they can use the logo.

Possibly a Moto Lita wheel. Looks like the plastic's cracked, so it's not worth a great deal unfortunately.

thanks for the reply's lads,

shame about the wheel, seemed in good nick for the age of it apart from one of the side plastics being chipped off, wasn't looking at them for value purposes just wondered what they could have been from,
i have got some really good old tools from the house also for instance a parafin blow torch! old brass thing, looks great!
ebay it is for car items then, may be of use for somebody,

cheers
