WTB Looking for W123 palomino front seat cover

Hey Peachers,

I'm looking for a palomino seat cover, don't need the frame or the headrest or armrest, although I'm not against getting either of the the 'rests. Prefer palomino over pinkamino.

It's for an 85 300TD, and I want the MB Tex with the six pleat style.
I think it came on 84-85 models, as I recall my 83 300D had 5 pleats....
I do not need the frame or the seat adjuster, plus that helps keep the shipping cost waaaay down.

A passenger side would be the most likely one in good condition, I've got a few flaws in my current driver's seat and would like to bring the seat up to speed.

I've looked at buying new covers, but they seem to be in pairs, or if single, the cost is close. Since my pax seat is perfect, I'd prefer to find a single cover, and an original one would most likely match better. So before I pull the trigger to do the pair, I thought there might be one out here in PP land I could get. Besides, I'd rather support our group before eBay.

Send me a PM, or reply here if you have something I can use!

Thanks,

Jim

I have a perfect passenger seat from a 1981 w123. It is Palomino but I guess it has the wrong pleat pattern. Let me know if you're interested.

5 pleats? How much are you asking?

Unfortunately, it's not the same..... The backrest is also different. MB scalloped out the backside for more rear legroom, around 82 or 83.

Thanks for responding!

Jim

Looks like there's no palomino seat covers around......

Saw this on eBay:


https://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCEDES-BENZ-W123-SEAT-COVERS-240D-250-280-E-CE-TE-300D-CD-TD-1976-1985/180179993854?hash=item29f39084fe:g:Cv8AAOSwofxUl3lQ&vxp=mtr


It's about the same price as a single seat cover from GAHH.

Any thoughts on the eBay set compared to the GAHH?

I've used GAHH before, and I think they have a quality product, eBay is unknown....

Also, if I bought the eBay pair, is there any interest in my existing pax seat cover? It's not faded and there are no noticeable flaws in the MB-Tex.

Jim

Jim, how soon are you needing? I have a seat in my shed, but won't be back down there for a few weeks.

Like to give some props to MTUPower........

.... The Captain came through with a decent palomino pax seat.
And he took the time to strip the covers off the frame to help with shipping.


Some great people on this list, sure helps to make the hobby a lot of fun!


Thanks again, William.


Jim
