Thanks guys for these helpful replies. I will take further as suggested.

Would like a wood steering wheel on my 03 2001 Sovereign V8 Auto. I had one on my old lux Volvo S90 and enjoyed the feel so much. Have seen some part wood wheels on some Jags but not entire wheel. Is there such a thing? Where might I buy one and presume my independent jag dealer could fit it.

It is not wildly serious but I also have a Volvo V70 which is much smoother - I don't think this should be! Mentioned t...

I am most grateful for the replies and comments received. I now have this beautiful Sovereign V8 2001 reg 24k miles and am delighted with this excellent car. She is kept on the drive and have so far waxed her twice! Haven't yet gone in for a cover - one problem is she is immediately outside the gara...
