Welcome to the Group Anosh,

Looks like a very nice car! I assume it is still in the work plan to change your seats to red?

I bought new leather seat covers from Autoberry

http://www.autoberry.com/index.php

The quality was excellent and they were relatively easy for my upholstery guy to install. 

Good luck,

Love the color combination, looks great. What kind of AC is in the car? Did it come with it?

(@ Dieter, It looks like he has protective covers over the seats.)

First of all I am jealous as hell as your restoration is done and mine is far from it. Looks great!

One question. Did they miss the notches?  I can’t see them but I am looking at a less than clear picture on my phone.

Is this the first Pagoda listed in this site from India?    Not sure but don’t recall an Indian Pagoda. 

If you really want serious comments on stock/original features, you should provide closer photos or a link to detail higher quality photos.  Depends on your reasons for requesting comments - if it’s to learn about original features , I suggest more and better photos.    Folks here will provide help - but be prepared to hear constructive comments if that’s what you want. 

Looking good.   Welcome to the site. 

One comment that I can see: the inside rearview mirror would have been chrome type on a 230 vs the black installed.
250sl - later - manual
280sl - 1971 - Auto - LSD
