Just listed it at $3250 with some more pics.

$2500 price discussed in here is still valid though.

Feel free to discuss.......

Sorry, but no.

I'm going to leave it up through the end of next week. If it doesn't sell I'll pull it and get to it at some point.

I made some room / time by selling 2 other cars last week.

All right, Boys, I may have happened upon a 40 yard roll of OG Type 3 salt- and- pepper upholstery (black/ silverbeige). The dirty little secret is that Euro and Canadian Delivery 1962 Mercedes W110 Fintail or Heckflosse cars had nearly identical material. What I have is an exact match to the Mercedes. I need some up close and clear pics of OG seatcovers and lower doorpanels, bitte. :D

Lucky I just happened to have that scan lying around... :D

I've been doing research for a reproduction. If Tram's find is the same thing my work is done.

Close, but not exactly:

Damn. Will buy some for Mercedes projects, anyways. In years of searching, I've never seen anything SO close. ](*,)

Surprisingly close, but not as close as I think we would want. I'm guessing it's not cheap either!

Actually, it's not too bad. I'm probably going to buy the whole roll just to have around. It's a nice heavy material too... definitely 60s vintage.

Real stinky wool is good to find :wink:

Period.

It's definitely not wool. Some sort of a nylon/ polyester fiber blend. The backside is almost like a thin cashmere.

Any chance of finding that in red/black?

You're missing all the snow, ya goofball. :D
