How rare are those whitestar leather steering wheels? They're exceptionally
nice in my mind. Although I'm stuck on my LARGE manuel steering wheel in my bus
because I can see the gauges.

I saw one once like the Whitestar wheel in an updated version from South
Africa. That is to say the new style SA Microbus wheel that some vendors sold for
time with the down-turned "boomerang" style horn pillar. But I say it was like
the the Whitestar wheel because it wasn't that heavily padded leather SA
wheel as you can find here stateside. It was a solid wrapped leather wheel but
unpadded for the most part--like the wheel in whitstar or like you see in the
Jetta circa 1990 or so-not so cushy. You could get a nice firm racing grip on the
leather wheel. Of course I could never find the part number for the "other"
SA wheel. I wish someone could. I don't get to SA all that often. (Where's
James Cohen when you need him?)

The gray dashboard cover in the Whitestar is a little too bright for my
money.
