Period option ?
« on: 02 April, 2012, 07:23:49 PM »
When collecting my Aprilia from Omicron, Martin said he had never seen a steering wheel lock quite like this one, so I thought I'd share a couple of photos .

It looks as if it has been there some time, whether it was fitted in 1947 I cannot say and I am not sure how effective it would be, but it looks cute (or sinister depending on your point of view) !

just goes to confirm that Aprilia's have always been highly desirable...

I have received some details of the steering lock on you car from my friend Paolo in Torino, he confirms that it is a period accessory, see the attached advert.
