The interior is not original.

The piping around the edge of the seat is velour, whereas the piping in a velour cloth benz is plastic. Also, the way the vertical seams terminate in the seat at the front is very particular and they are not right.

It looks to be a poor attempt to copy a real benz velour interior.

I went to great lengths to get my velour front seats redone properly, and I was unable to find an adequate source for new upholstery that was not $$$$$$$$$$$.
