Just curious about wood steering wheels

In our search for a car I've seen some XKs with the wood - and many without and just trying to figure out what the differentiation is?
At first I thought it was an XK w/luxury package - while the XKR were naturally designed to be sportier, and thus didn't have the wood. That was wrong when I saw an '08 with luxury package and no wood.![Icon Nut](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_nut.gif)
It's not important to the search, but just wanted to know why, and if perhaps other features are also accompanied by the wood wheel, and missing on the non-wood cars. I'm guessing it also has to do with model years.

The wood trim was not related to the "Luxury" option (= all-leather interior as opposed to seat facings only in leather on the standard interior; "all leather" means every part of the seats, the entire dashboard and console, the door panel and rear cove panel trim). Unless a non-wood veneer was specified, every XK had wood trim (different wood veneers were available including Pian Black, depending on model year and model). The wood- trimmed wheel, however, was an option on the 07 cars.
