Colin Chapman Signed Steering Wheels

[lotusfan]

What is the story behind the steering wheels with Colin Chapman's signature? Were they fitted to all our toys originally or were they an option or only fitted to some cars?

I think they were only fitted as standard on the Sprints and the later +2's from about 71/72. I dont think they were ever fitted to the Europa's unless they were on the Federal version?

They were fitted on all the S4 and most S3 as well.

I have one on my 1971 S4 SE but not on my Europa Special.
