Can anyone tell me exactly what would be required (and where to get it) to duplicate this steering wheel on a Vintage Speedster that currently has a Nardi?

I have been in this shop. High quality and ability to make what you want. To the best of my recollection, he makes or has made some parts for IM
Thanks, but I don't see it on the Classico website. Some similar, but not the same.
Troy, Like Mitch said thats a british style wheel. You will need a new hub or an adapter. Better off with a new Moto-lita style hub if you plan to use the 82mm Porsche Crest. The Metal pattern in your steering wheel pic is called a large tear drop. Jeffery from Classico Wheel can male you the ring. He made mine, I'll look for the Picture.
Here is the Picture. If I only had my VDM Steering wheel from Mr. Lempert, I'd be rockin'

Looks like it, but it isn't it. This one has far more rivets.
i ordered a MotoLita from England, custom made, my choice of wood, wheel pattern, # holes, type of finish, etc..took 3 weeks to get, excellent wheel..
I just did this wheel on a Spyder we delivered last month, I made the adapter for the wheel as well. I have a wheel very similar to the picture you posted.

I posted for some help, because I've been frustrated in my attempts to identify the source. I was hoping someone would make it simple and could give me part numbers and websites like they could do if I asked where I could get a banjo wheel and a Porsche horn button and hub. Seems like this one could be just as simple.
Saw your post after I posted my last message Greg. Thank you.
That is a NICE wheel Greg, but it's not the one I'm looking for.
here you go... the hub, wheel, horn ring pictured is an ISP West kit. they have gone up in price $100 in last 3 years.... inflation i guess!

just choose your hub spline patterb- my VS came with a 1960-1974 spline streering rod/spline count. easy plug and play.
wheel is not flat, it has a 1" dish, in my car VS this maintained the 3" spacing between the steering wheel and blinker arm. when i swaped it out for a flat wheel ( when i was experimenting whith wheels) i only had 2" between wheel/blinker harm .. a little to tight for my hands. i whent back to the dished wheel.
hope this helps....
cheers,

I don't think it will be that simple Troy. Here is the wheel. I don't think that the trim ring is off the shelve.

opss... i sent you the wrong link. here is the right oone for beetle ( in liei of bus) adatptor. sorry.. same price. i jusy check my old invoice... for my VS i ordered the 1960-1974 1/2 hub adaptor.
let me know if you need a quick quide to identifying which one you need... i should have a picture somewhere comparing the three styles used by beetles... pre '60 to post "74 1/2

these are off the shelve... hub, horn ring and wheel.
cheers,
@Troy Sloan Certainly looks like a Motolita:
Pardo nailed it at a source in California. That's a great deal if it comes with that trim ring too.
and sorry for the typos.... i m not a fan of the samsung 8 key board ;-)

Actually, it was very simple to find the wheel. Google can always answer the question. 5 minutes of research. Then it gets down to how bad do you want it $$$.
Looking through my server picture files... here is what the hub looks like uninstalled. It can accommodate any 9 bolt wheel. Also, I noted in my receipt that they sold me the kit- wheel, hub, and horn ring— without the horn button to save $$, since I already had a couple banjo wheel and Porsche horn buttons. The ISP guys are friendly, know our cars and builders, and have always been easy to work with.
And a spline quick reference w/ picture,
Sorry I can’t share more pics. I’m traveling in Europe, just accessing my files/home server, through my Samsung phone,
Cheers,
