Default Looking for Wood Steering Wheel Idea - Post Photos of yours

As the title says: looking to add some more wood to my interior. The factory steering although nice, it is a bit on the thin side. I cant decide on a wood steering wheel design. The E-Type design with the holes in the spokes looks interesting but so do some options from Nardi and NRG.
Would love to see some wheels for Series 1-3 interiors.

That wheels looks good. My only gripe with this design is that its a bit thin and usually the wood grip notches on the back of the wheels arent as rounded but more jagged feeling.

Over the decades I've tried various brands but always end up coming back to Nardi.

Here is the Mota-Lita range. This link is to page 2 of many, but the first one is a wood with a thicker grip:

This looks nice. Do you recall the Nardi model # for this one? My car's a british racing green with a tan interior like yours - thanks for posting!

Was on the car when I got it, Keep your old wheel if you decide to enter the car in any jcna sanctioned shows, they deduct points for not being original! Ask me how I know! Lol

My 85 now wears a Nardi. Matches perfectly and it's smaller diameter makes driving fo much more pleasant. I went with black spokes. I feel the silver ones tend to clash with the dash. But, to each his/her own.
