I think it's California Walnut,thats what the UK brochure says for the UK for the Hemi but the hemi in the UK has all the good stuff,I've heard that some lesser models the wood is turtlewood???(plastic I think)

Yes, it is called California walnut so look for this name in the kits. For the kit that I got from edash kits, it was called "real California walnut" and you paid a premium over the artificial grained kits. The standard option steering wheel and door pulls have what they call tortoiseshell and some people match this up to an artificial burl walnut kit.

Would you guys recognise the wood if I posted a picture?

Here's a few pictures of the "real California walnut" kit installed.

I Guess mine must be Califonia as my gear stick looks exactly the same
