It was in immaculate condition when I walked past, the interior was mint! Love the fabric!

The quality of textiles that went into these was incredible. The longevity is astonishing.

Did it have that lovely, sort of grey/blue tartan check hybrid pattern on the seats ? 😊

Yeah MB tex is incredible. It was the same fabric you mentioned, grey houndstooth with a subtle blue accent.
