i saw the same steering wheel years ago at national alfa day at stanford hall in a really nice old shape gtv (the limited editon model )and i thought it looked nice so saw this one on ebay and knew i had to have it.
Thats the same as what i have on mine exept the black bit on mine hasnt been removed. I was thinking of doing that and now i've seen what it looks like, i will do it. I will also try removing the dark varnish and replacing it with a lighter shade to look like silver birch, to match my silver paint.
It's OK.. Good choice if you need a smaller steering wheel than the standard one, although otherwise I quite like the standard wheel in a Sud or Sprint.
I changed my 33's steering wheel because the original wheel got gooey in damp weather, and I wanted the smaller size and slight dishing to give me more room for my knees. I don't have to sit like an Italian now!

It was one of the cheapest ones that my local auto parts supplier had. I think the brand is Sportline or something. Apart from its shape I chose it because it was the only design which suited older cars. The rest were awful boy racer types with chrome, bright coloured coverings etc.
It is the same as OBA. I have the same and it is writen on in OBA made in Italy. Unfortunately it is not lleather but foamed type byt it is great. It s quite similar as the original from alfaromeo but smaller so it fits very well....
picked up my steering wheel today and its lovely cannot wait to put it on the sud ,there is a little bit of wear on the varnish not sure how to repair that do i scrape the varnish off and sand the wood then revarnish or is it best left to a expert to do it or leave it as is so it looks a bit more classic.

Beware that it might not be that easy to remove the factory steering wheel.
I broke my factory wheel right off its mounting bracket but the bracket wouldn't budge. In the picture you can see I tied and bolted (and vise-gripped) a gear puller to the bracket. I tightened this gear puller up until its shaft started to bend, then I hit the bracket from behind with a chisel and heavy hammer until it finally came free!
didn't used to like wooden ones but since i got my sud i think they suit it
