A couple of years ago i got chatting to the guy who was looking after Ayton Sennas car (the gold 190e 2.3-16v) I had go a couple of mags and on the front cover of one is this pic of the range at the time (i think 1985) He told me it was because that car was one of the endurance cars and that because peaple were sitting in the car for so long it was more comfortable having the interia in cloth than in leather and it was lighter so when it came to bracking the 12 records that they did it was a small help! Piece of usless info for u

The 16v in that picture has a velour interior in it. Velour was a VERY expensive option for the 190's hence they are quite rare. Don't know wat it is doing inside a 16V though
