My girlfriends 57 oval has its original interior minus the drivers seat which is odd. Is there anywhere that makes exact copies of original seats covers? Ideally don't want to buy all new covers. Cheers, freddie

Could look around for 2nd hand stuff, a lot of it just needs re stitching, that's about the only way you'll get something colour matched to 50 year old vinyl.

Doing same search for 58-59 driver seat upholstery. When/if you find that, keep in mind the OG upholstery is not going to last like new will. Best to then get or make seat covers to protect the OG upholstery, at least the front seats. Pull off the seat covers for show time.

A few different colors to choose from, Himmelservice have fabrics for 3 of them, Wagenmanufaktur also got some fabric in the right colors. Both in Germany.
