That's interesting. In my experience, many Triumph plastic steering wheels
wear through the top coating to reveal a porous inner material which can be
unpleasantly sticky if it gets wet. I guess there were several different
materials in circulation, even within the same designs. It would explain why
I have several Herald steering wheels which are cracked and worn, yet other
equally tired Heralds have yielded unmarked examples,
Cheers,
Bill.
