SMS auto fabrics.

There's a place in the Netherlands that has a good selection, but I'm away from the shop and can't remember the name. If Jens Jesberg doesn't chime in soon, send him a PM. I'm sure he knows some good sources.

is it West trading your referring to.

I think it is West Trading, and I'm guessing that's one of the places you tried. If so, definitely try to get in touch with Jens. He's good with the German cars. http://www.naehkraft.de/

Hi Ian!
I am quite sure the fabric you're looking for is called "Kaffeebohne" ("coffee bean"). I suppose the color was black. Blue could also be, if the photo doesn't reflect the colour correctly. Don't be fooled by the look of the fabric. It's a wool fabric that's completely bleached out from the sun over the years (except for the "coffee beans", which keep their colour). If you cut the seams or look at the headrests from below you'll see it.

The best contact for Mercedes fabrics is Peter Steenbuck. He specialized in Mecedes years ago and has a good knowledge of the models, years of production and interior options. He also regularly has missing fabrics re-manufactured.

But you can also get the fabric from Westtrading.

But maybe you'll find a dealer near you if you know what you're looking for.
