No, its not, and nor is the leather. The original manufacturer no longer exists.  Sad

I would say GAHH or World Upholstery are about as close as you can get. The World Upholstery leather is pretty close to that of the original. Although the manufacture has ceased to exist, the cows still roam the earth.

The doors and the pillars are wrapped in a vinyl, regardless of whether you have leather or tex. I don't think it's the same material as the seats as it probably thinner.

Thanks again alabassi. i was looking at it closely and i thought it was wrapped with almost the same material as the plain mbtex. does it mean it can be re-wrapped?
