Black Euro 450SEL

[motec 6.9]

Hi guys this looks nice a Black 450SEL UK import in the 80's with very nice looking cream velour. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/yinnar/cars-vans-utes/1979-mercedes-benz-450-sedan/1046282369

I wonder if it's the PO of my XE ESP? Same area and good taste in cars....

It certainly looks to be in nice condition and that colour combo yes please.

.......can anyone tell from the photo if the rear seat, and pleat pattern, are original ? It should be remembered that some Commodore velour material is close to the original Mercedes pattern. Obviously, the feel and texture between the two types of material is like comparing night and day, but this is not always evident unless you have a bit of trimming/material knowledge. Regards.

Going on what you can see I would say it has probably been like my car with sheep skin covers. And it looks very clean for its age and mileage so I would guess it is original seat covering. As side trim most definitely is. It looks like it may still have Becker cant be sure from image but it is 2 dial stereo at the least.

That looks genuine MB

Yes I agree it has the same pattern from what I can see of the sides as my velour which is the original trim. The rest of the interior looks decent as in dash and door trim.
