Our model numbering system is the result of decades of constant product development and in this series we're taking a look at the differences between the ranges.
The Moto-Lita Mark 8 - also known as the Eagle 4 - is one of our favourite designs. It comes as standard with a choice of Sapele wood rim or premium black cow hide, both with polished spokes and is equally at home in vehicles as diverse as a Land Rover Defender and an MGB.

What it's not…
It's not vacuum-formed by a soulless machine.
- Moto-Lita Mark 7 leather wheels are hand stitched using premium materials, and the wooden version hand crafted by experienced artisans. They can take up to four weeks to make although we often keep pre-made stock for many of our ranges.
It's not a mass-produced, cheap imitation that will only last a couple of years.
- Moto-Lita wheels have always been made in Britain using traditional techniques. They're the real thing, the original, and if looked after correctly, will last a lifetime.
