I thought I would list here for folks before dropping all of this on auction sites.

I have a new set of carpets for a W123 Sedan in #1475 Brown Import Loop from World Upholstery, asking $320 for the set plus shipping.

Good deal on that set.

A bit off topic but how is the quality of their work? I need seat covers and they have them.

Very excellent quality, but not quite as authentic as GAHH - notice the pleats in the green seat leather are not actually punctured crosses through the leather as the original seats were, but rather diamond-shaped impressions. The red piece of leather is a sample from GAHH, and matches the original leather better - when I get around to ordering new red skins for my 450SEL, I've decided to go with GAHH. For carpets I may go with World Upholstery because I don't like the driver's heel pad that GAHH does. Either company is quite excellent though, and World Upholstery is a bit less expensive.

Yep, I would say that the carpets that I received are of equivalent quality of the originals. I just ordered the wrong color for the '77 240D that I'm working on.
