GTS Steering Wheels

My wifes old SS Torana had a blank cap. HX Sandmans had it. Not sure about the HJ sandman I think it had the same cap as HQ sandman as the font type was the same.

paul its the blank cap from hj hx ..it was also used as the cap you got if you optioned a statesman/kingswood etc etc with a sports steering device up until the hz/uc/wb series cars...

Thanks guys.
Now with that information it has twigged the memory and I think it came from a HX van I bought many years ago for the black GTS dash and the GTS steering wheel it had on it.
It was the same colour as this pic of Leroys.

I have wondered in recent years if it was a sandman but it had the 9942992 tyre placard on it.
So if I have it right 4.2 Litre Eng. 10 cwt. Panel Van
Cheers Paul.

So is the new wheel from Rares up=to-spec? A mate had one years ago is his HQ wagon (308, M21) it was a OEM wheel though and it was great to drive with. That wag was awesome too! Brown with a white roof and Long Grain Gazelle interior. Ahhh the 70's, such a special time of style.....

Where are they up to?

at the moment they are off getting ADR approved, once the Paper work and all that jazz is complete we can proceed with actually manufacturing them.

none of us are really sure on a date but its very near completion

5mm GTS steering wheels for HQ and HJ. The Sandman insert appeared in HQ Sandman, the same as SS and GTS. HJ had blank cap.
Rarity, I have one and they would be as rare or common as there were HQ Sandman's.
