I appreciate this maybe like finding unicorns but I am looking for a P80 wood steering wheel in red wood and in good condition. After 20+ years in the Australian sun, my center console in my C70 Coupe started de-laminating and the rest of the trim had faded. It was the original walnut trim. I managed to get a complete set of trim i.e glove box, radio surround, center console,rear ash tray, and auto gear knob from UK from a dismantled 2003 C70 in good condition and after having the items re-polished they look like new. The problem now is my walnut steering wheel does not match. Any one out there have a red wood steering wheel for sale?

Yeah wood doesn't play well with intense sunlight. I think the worst case is that you grab a basic one from a breaker, and have yours repaired and refinished to match the rest of the trim. No hill for a climber.
And Welcome !
