Black/Leather 365mm (14,4”)

This beautiful Momo, is a Tribute to one of the Greatest Racing Legends of All Time, Tazio Nuvolari.

Why Momo put a Turtle with the initials TN as a Horn Button?

In 1932, Gabriele D’Annunzio gave a small golden turtle to Nuvolari, which he would then make his personal symbol: “to the fastest man, the slowest animal”.

Who was Tazio Nuvolari?

Tazio Giorgio Nuvolari was born in Castel d'Ario (Mantova) on November 16, 1892, and went down in history as one of the greatest drivers of all times.
Achieving success in car racing required from him devoting time and perseverance. After having won some races as a privateer, he got an Alfa Romeo works car for the 1930 Mille Miglia. He dominated the race at a record average speed of over 100-kph.
During the 1930's he became an outstanding star of road and track racing in Europe, Africa and America, driving mainly Scuderia Ferrari's Alfa Romeos, Maseratis and Auto Unions.

His racing record driving cars includes 92 wins (55 outright, 37 class), the European Championship in 1932, three Italian Championships (1932, 1935, 1936) and two International Speed records. In total, he recorded the fastest lap of a race no less than 101 times (42 in motorcycles, 59 whilst driving a racing car).
Whilst he survived a series of horrific accidents during his career, he died on 11 August 1953 in his bed at home in Mantua, victim of a heart attack. He was still a very popular figure.
Ferdinand Porsche named him «the greatest driver of the past, present and future».

Used and in good condition this is a very special steering wheel for any car enthusiast and private collector.
