KWE can supply a range of proprietary and bespoke steering wheels with adaptors to fit the Series 3 Saloon and XJS.
Please Note: We cannot supply wheels with airbags.
1. The KWE “Newbury”
[column width=”eight” position=”first” ]
This is our premier wheel, hand made for us by London Carriage Craft.
It is based on the mid-80s XJS and late Series 3, 2 spoke, 16 inch thick rimmed wheel. The leather cover is removed and replaced with a solid ash foundation. Then 8 pieces of veneer – each mirror-matched – are applied using a vacuum fixture to each quadrant of the wheel, front and rear. The veneer is then clear resin coated and polished to a mirror finish.
The result is a beautiful, hard wearing wood steering wheel with an ideal thickness of rim, yet retaining plenty of Jaguar styling cues to give it a highly authentic look. The spoke design allows a good view of the instruments. If you are having your dash woods replaced at the same time, the wheel veneer can be matched to them.
Price: £1300 + VAT (fitting is free)

2. The KWE “Ascot”
This is a modified version of the Momo-built 15inch leather-covered steering wheel fitted to early XJRS models. We modify this wheel by inserting a solid walnut (or wood of your own choice) fillet, resin-coated and polished, and fitted with an original Jaguar acrylic horn-push badge. We can arrange to have almost any centre logo, to your own design, including the KWE logo! The wood can be matched to your own existing or new dash woods. This wheel is particularly comfortable to use and has gentle serrations on the rear.
Price: £350.00 + VAT (fitting is free)
3. The KWE “Goodwood”
[column width=”eight” position=”first” ]
This is the same as the “Newbury” but instead of veneer, the rim has hand-applied figuring under the polished resin coating. This is a 16inch wheel and has a very pleasing feel. This wheel has been recently upgraded to achieve even better finish.
Price: £360 + VAT (fitting is £40)
