Default What color is your steering column? Seriously.

I believe I've found the right car for purchase. The only strange thing about it is the steering column.

The car is a Sport Gold Metallic TA with pewter leather seats, dash, wheel, etc., but the steering column itself is black. The car is a one owner, so it has a clean title, and I have no other reason to believe it's a theft recovery or rebuild. The owner has been extremely accomodating and has answered all questions to my satisfaction, so I have no reason to doubt his word. He says that's the way it was delivered, but it seems odd to me.

Soooo... Anybody seen this before?

Thanks guys. It just looked strange to me, as I'd never noticed it before.
