So, I've been blessed with the seemingly impossible task of trying to track down original seat covers for the 64 L572 configuration. I see websites and vendors that have something close to, but not exact, and there's no upholstery places near me willing to whip anything up.

More info, the seat interior is the 71/Cord Brown which appears to be available for ONLY 64 L572's.

My rear seat:

Any tips on where to find, or how to get close to this helps alot. If there's nothing I can do then I'll probably just have to switch the seat covers to a full brown, but I'd hate to have to get rid of this classic style. Who knows, maybe one of you have what I'm looking for Laughing

Thank you! this has certainly pointed me in the right direction towards what I'm looking for! One of the vendors you mentioned has something close, but not exact. Hoping I can find more leads.

Only found the cloth ("P 351 biber ( 55 )")

But that doesn't match your leatherette rear seat ("K 434 cordbraun ( 71 )")
