Features and Construction

The steering wheel combines traditional materials with modern finishing techniques to achieve both period authenticity and practical durability.

Material and Build

Constructed from peach wood, a hardwood traditionally used in automotive interiors for its appearance and workability, the steering wheel maintains authentic period styling. The black electroplated finish provides surface protection while maintaining the wood's natural texture beneath, creating visual contrast suitable for various classic car colour schemes. The electroplating process coats the wood surface evenly without obscuring the material's inherent characteristics.
