Thanks to GreenBean (Gerrit), I finally found my Radio Flyer Wagon.. and nogal an '89' to boot, the big one! :D I do not know how to thanks GB, who went through an episode to find and track the guy who owned it previously, and then when eventually he found the homeless guy, sorted him with a new wheel barrow, after feeding him and giving him some coffee, brought all the way from up-country on the plane, and then delivered it to me all the way from Paarl, where he was staying for Easter weekend. Then he refused to take not even a cent for all his efforts, only asking to visit my house and check whats up in my garage... a deal I cannot refuse as Im sure you all will agree!

Gerrit, you are a gent amongst gents and I thanks you again sir...!

Some pics of the wagon attached!

At the bottom of the wheel it says "PERSONAL" with a crown above it and a arrow pointing down through the middle of the word.

Stompie it looks as if you scored a good find either way. At 1st glance it looks like a aftermarket copy of a classic line made by Personal/ Nardi in the 60's and 70's.

@ Mr Sonday... Personal makes racing products and Steering wheels for F1 and race /rally applications.

You do not mention if you bought it with the boss adaptor or not, but judging by the VW horn push it looks after market and newish. I do though stand under correction...

Personall, It looks to me like a copy of an early Speedwell steering wheel like the one attached from the samba.com

1st dibs on it anyway if you wanna sell or swap for a beetle or 911 steering wheel at any stage! :D
