Fabric seating has a tendency to gather the bodily fluids and emanations of
those seated upon them. Over time, this becomes a buffet to the various
microbes that consume them, and if allowed to get wet, provide a wonderful
environment for mold and mildew. Too many PnP cars have that issue. Re

From looking at brochures online, it looks like velour was available
from the '70s ( starting with the W116, W123 & C107) to at least the
'90MY here in the US (in no less then 8 colors!) on all models except
for the SL Roadster. N/C on some models, the option cost around $1K+-
for all others.
My 250 LWB had velour that was ordered with the car. Not sure why - it didn't
wear well and was difficult to clean.

And more recently a 380SEL and 300D. But I'm never managed to own a car
with it. But I've had a
Yes, very nice! Reasonably priced too.
I did catch the fact the door inserts are velour though, so the seats
have been redone in either Tex or Leather. Don't see too many cars with
velour, too bad they didn't try & source it.
Looks like it's still available (velour upholstery material):
