What is the Nardi steering wheel ? Is this fitted to the S2 as standard ? I know there are many as its an aftermarket brand but was there one specifically for the M100 in limited numbers ?

Yes .
Was part of the option package not the later Esprits and S2 elans .
It is surprising how may S2's carry the standard wheel though .
Theelanman you are correct .
And the last ebay sold S2 wheel did indeed go for just over £450

It's true it's a bit more beautiful than that infamous air bag version ... x_x

The Nardi is the most fun upgrade I've done to my Elan SE. The steering feels so much better than the standard steering wheel.

Regards

I have a Nardi wheel on my 92 SE and I don't think it was fitted as a aftermarket replacement, I will be at Brands Hatch on Saturday and if you ask I my just let you look at it or I may not.

So what is so different about a Nardi wheel vs OEM ? And what's so special ? And why does it justify a £450 price tag when it does virtually the same as mine ie turn he wheels in the direction you want ?

It's a lot nicer to look at and smaller. Feels more sporty.

Smaller than the non SIR SE one? From here I would have said they look pretty similar in size?! (but I have never seen a Nardi one so ...)

I think it will but you will need to fit a boss or a adapter kit I am sure someone here has fitted one to a Elan?
