Quick release steering wheels are a race only option. Although you could find one to fit your steering wheel, it's not practical to install because most of the upper part of the column needs to be removed to access the quick release. The quick release nut also needs to be welded onto the end of the steering shaft making disassembly of the column for any repairs impossible.

Mr Bean strikes again.

That's a special application not the typical quick release system. What does the cover say?
