Leather covered steering wheel

[Sumptners]

I have received an enquiry from the USA regarding a leather covered steering wheel is clearly from an SP250. I have always known that these could be specified as an extra or additional equipment. My assumption was that the wheel would have leather around the rim.
The steering wheel in question, which may be for sale, has leather or vinyl not only to the rim but entirely covering the three sets of spokes. Photos of two LHD and one RHD cars with identical steering wheels have been sent to me so this is not a one off.
Perhaps the original additional equipment wheels were finished in this fashion. Perhaps somebody out there can help. I can provide a photo if needed please use the contact form.

The leather covered steering wheel is as you described it was really a cheap looking thing close up, just a standard steering wheel with the leather wrapped round the spokes and glued on, same with the rim, an easy DIY job
