That is cool. I made a soft sided bag out of the extra leather when I read did the upholstery in my now gone Aston Martin DB4.

I have the original set that came with our 190.

The 1st owner was a dentist in Germany.

While my father was looking over the original bill of sale one day he noticed the luggage set.

He sent a letter to the PO whose wife was still alive.

She replied that there was something in the attic that may be what we were looking for.

Couple of weeks later a big box showed up with the complete set.

Apparently never used, they'd been in her attic 30 some odd years and looked brand new.

Cool Story

you guys sure have some cool cars

I was just thinking I should get the fitted luggage for my miata, because the trunk is pretty small.

Which 190?

SL, 55', number 7 off the line. 2 nd owner. Car has been in our family since 64'

Post some pics

Ignore the car cover and boot, had pulled her out for updated ins pics.
