In any case, the only material suitable for a sports car steering wheel is wood.

Wooden wheels not on my radar. Simply don't like them, makes me think I'm driving a boat. Also, not as bad in these days of airbags but these things caused terrible injuries to hands and arms in traffic accidents back in tbe day and probably still could now.

I had one in one of my Mercs 190's, loved it but as Tony points out, no airbag.
I have airbags, can't see 1990s Type Approval allowing the wooden wheel to be a hazard, it was a factory fit.
Ah, OK, mine was not it had been fitted by the previous owner.
Went for the first option, very pleased with it, feels great to handle lovely and comfortable. The blue stitching matches the car colour.
Looks very smart is that your original wheel and did you send it off to be refurbed

Do like the look of that. Is that a Royals job?
Yes pal it’s a royal wheel
That also looks smart hard choice between the two is that your original wheel retrimed
Yes, original wheel. Perforated leather at the sides and nappa top and bottom, thumb bumps either sides. Took around two weeks.
Cheers worth considering
Love the flat bottom
