[Healeys] Derrington Steering wheel

As nobody has corrected me I assume I'm correct in my assumption. It 
seems you have a Derrington style wheel made by MotoLita.
Mike Lempert has the story behind these steering wheels on his web site,

It appears that in addition to the spokes the wood needs to be laminated 
on a Derrington style steering wheel.
