Hello group.
I looked at a '69 280sl for sale today and was told that the interior was all original. It looks quite possible, but I thought I would ask this group about it.

Do the seats and carpet (and anything else) all look original??
-
Looks original and in very nice condition to me.
-
If the rubber around the shift gate is stuck (vulcanized) to the gate and carpet, that is original.
-
The finish on the wood looks a little shiny to my eye, otherwise this looks like a good original interior.
-
The MB Tex is original. The carpet is not original (not vulcanized around the gear shift surround) but it is the correct German multi-loop carpet.
-
The centre wood console. I have seen them with and without carpet on the interior bottom. With carpet would cover the two screws and add a soft landing for anything sitting in it, such as sun glasses. What is considered original?
-
The wrinkles in the door panel covering above the release latch would be typical of an original interior - Larry in CA
