Any help would be really appreciated

Try cabrio.de (KHM) in Germany. They were able to supply  certain velour colours still, and I believe blue was one of them. It's the late-W116/early-W126 variety however, with slightly wider ribbing.

The last time I've checked with them, they had the ability to reproduce any of the original colours too, however at a price of 80eur per running meter, with a minimum order quantity of 100 running meters.

Then there's Steenbuck in the Netherlands who only deal with upholsterers directly, and are a massive pain in the back to deal with. In the UK you have D:Class, who may have some select colour availability.

If you're not worried about 100% originality, you're better of switching to leather or MB-Tex. Works out cheaper, lasts much longer too, and either is significantly easier to obtain in original patterns, or very close to.

I just got some from these guys and blue is in stock. Fast reliable service. There is a service charge for less than 2 meters. I got a meter of ribbed and a meter of plain for about £230 pounds. Not cheap but it will make the drivers seat so much neater.
