A lot of members have fitted them from Land Rover Freelanders, but there was one produced by Rover specifically for the 75, however, these are very unusual.

Freelander would be the easiest bet, try a post in the items wanted section. The original Rover part is extremely rare.

And I expect expensive.
Have been looking at steering wheels with the wood and was shocked to see how much people on Fleabay want.

The originals are expensive. I paid £85.00 for this brand new in the box item because I felt flush and I wanted it.

The item got lost in the post and ended up in Ireland. It turned up eventually, after about seven weeks. The item is now in Gate Keepers 'S' reg.

They are just so rare, so hard to find and when they turn up they are a fortune.

The Freelander looks acceptable, but there's nothing like the real thing.

No I know and I wouldn't really be happy with one from a Freelander, will have to wait a see what I can find.

Just seen a full leather interior with door cards on Ebay in beige which I'm tempted to buy.
I know leather in the summer can get really hot but I'm not a fan of the current grey seats even though they are in good condition.

I have already purchased the full walnut trim kit for the aircon, radio surrounds and drivers door etc.
