But don't they look nice Craig?? They were an optional extra on their own as well and cost £199.99 without cruise control and £239.99 with cruise (1996 prices!!)
There was also a wood/leather steering wheel with a wooden piece at the bottom of the wheel, not just at the top like ours Craig! I'll do a photo in a bit

George, if the interior is in good nick, and cheap, one went on EBay recently for 250 quid!

I don't wish to be Mr Picky, not that it doesn't look good , but in a severe crash situation is a splintering wooden ( yes, WOODEN !!, like the Industrial Revolution never happened ) chest impaler the most sensible thing to have around ?

what instead of a leather covered steel bar!?
The wood is merely a veneer over pvc over steel so not a huge bent piece of vampire impaling tree trunk!
