It’s not often you can get two legends for the price of one: this steering wheel is signed by Sir Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks. The design harks back to the wooden-rimmed steering wheels used in Vanwall racing cars in the 1950s, and in 1957 Moss and Brooks made history by sharing Vanwall VW5 to victory in the British Grand Prix at Aintree. It marked the first F1 World Championship race win for a British-built car, and was the final time a championship GP had been won by two drivers sharing a car. The wheel comes with a display stand and a custom centre boss signed by Moss and Brooks, plus a certificate of authenticity. With stock limited, get your order in quickly to secure a slice of grand prix history.

He stalled on the grid but managed to bump-start his car and then flew through the field to reel in team-mate Alain Prost, breaking the lap record on his way to victory and the title. This model commemorates those heroics, and even allows you to remove the engine cover to examine the car’s Honda turbo heart.
