as above its a rs 4 spoke wheel, except they were not all aftermarket ones, they were std on the rs16i, prices vary depending on condition, £30 for one that needs new leather to £200 for a brand new one in the box

This is an optional extra wheel, has the pips on the top at the back for your fingers. Leather is unworn and has the grain still present i.e. not completely smooth (It is the original leather) Has the correct boss for a Mk 3 Fiesta, has a horn push centre and a non push centre and also a spare boss for the wheel to fit a MK4 escort/Saph...

Make me a sensible offer...

as above the 3 spoke was a optional extra which was avalible at the time the s1 went on sale hence why u see a few of them with the leather 3 spoke instead of the xr3i wheel they came with as std

no its not a s1 wheel, the s1 came with the xr3i steering wheel as std just like the s2 did, that wheel is a rs optional extra one which was avalible at the time the s1 was released and most people paid the extra to have one, that wheel could be fitted to any ford on sale at the time with the correct boss
