Hello
Ive come here in the hope that someone can identify what car this steering wheel, column and box is off. The box is marked 'Bishop Gear patent 223863'. I think that dates it to around the 1930's. Apparently it was used on Morris, MG? and another British car not sure which one. As you can probably tell Im not a car buff as such so I am struggling. I bought it as a bit of a punt. Ive done various google searches to try and identify the steering wheel but to no avail. The centre of the steering wheel is bakelite.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the steering wheel, but I have to comment on and ask about your forum name. Love it; are you perhaps related to Mr. Dickens? Sounds like a character name he'd have come up with!

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

:cheers:

Its just word I picked up from someone years ago and I found it amusing. He used it in the context of 'chocolate wizwag'. I'll let you use your imagination to work out what that is.
