My car came with the Comfort option package, basically, and it would seem some other options. I'm trying to determine whether the steering wheel is wrapped in leather or pleather. I would say leather but looking at the picture in the book I have by Brian Long it could be the fake leather. So how does one figure out whether the steering wheel wrapper is leather or leatherette?

The window sticker from my 1973 914 shows it has a "Leatherette Covered Steering Wheel". I believe some of the early 914's had optional leather wheels but it looks like somewhere around 1973 they went to leatherette.
