I have a 1970 with cognac leather (250) and the recently replace original carpet was a multi-loop in cognac. The original drivers floor mat had the MB logo and part number embossed in the plastic heal pad. I did a lot of research before buying the replacement carpet set, but remained unconvinced that cognac was not original.
Cognac is apparently not always available. When I bought my carpet set several places had it in stock, including GAHH and Bud's Benz.

Regards,
Stan

GAHH has sent me three samples of carpet.  I am trying to determine if one of them might be close to the #8008 brown.  I was trying to attach a photo of the carpet samples that GAHH sent to me but the page won't load for some reason.  If anyone knows what the Brown #8008 looks like, email me off list and I will email the photo of the samples.

Or, better still does anyone know of a quality source of the Brown #8008 carpet?

Thanks,

No, Pete, I think you are right, actually. I am sure about the color, but I think the earlier cars had square-weave and the later ones had loop or nylon carpet. Mine are a dark brown. Interestingly, I ordered carpet mats (when I got the car it had a three sets of somewhat aged coco mats piled on top of each other in the footwells) and told the mat company 'dark brown'- and they sent me carpet samples, one of which matched just about perfectly. From which I suspect that these carpets are close to their original color and haven't faded too much if at all.
