Default wooden 850 T5 steering wheels

Does anyone have a wooden steering wheel from an 850. Provided they made one of course [I'm sure someone will enlighten me] I would rather one from an 850 than the one from the later V70 with all the radio controls on the wheel.

£45 is a good price. I have one on my 850 and would not want anything else. The leather wheels seem to get very gummy and worn after a few years. The wooden wheels were a very expensive option on new cars IRO £500 I believe.

That link in the above post covers it very well, you will have to scroll down to section 4 for the wheel removal part, there are a few others have covered it on here, it's good that someone on here got it at that price, bit of a bargain.

After seeing 2 on eBay go for the wrong side of £100 and them without the airbag module I thought it was a good deal too.

However there seems to be different wood types available on these wheels, most of them are like this one, a darker 'reddish' colour wood, but I saw one go for nearly £130 and that was a very light 'ash' colour wood wheel, both genuine 850 Volvo wheels.

Joined the club... also in near mint condition. The only wear is to the leather parts and that is only slight.



Thanks.
