Curtains available ?

Having seen the car that is available on Ebay UK at the moment, I am intrigued to know whether curtains for all the rear windows are still available (in blue) and, if so, what they would cost ? Can anyone tell me ?

I think they're a lovely option to have. Really would make the car feel luxurious.

I got a set off ebay for my W126 from Germany. I think you can get them from the same seller for the W116. I had to get black though as I don't think he did blue (which I would have prefered). The seller was called Baimex or something similar.
I'm called Dave! I currently own: Mercedes W116 450 SEL 6.9, Mercedes W109 300 SEL 6.3, Mercedes W126 420 SEL, Fiat 130 Berlina, Fiat 131 Supermirafiori, Fiat 131 Panorama, Fiat 132 2000, Fiat Argenta and a Citroen Xantia.

Talk to your dealer, I'm sure they can at least give you a price and availability info

Tomi bought some as well off ebay?  Though black as well

Some links and pics, the ebay links inside wouldn't work so hopefully Tomi will divulge his source.

That's very interesting. Tomi - can you send me the guy's Ebay name as the link from the previous thread does not work anymore. Mirafioriman - I tried the name that you suggested and couldn't find anything for sale.

Thanks all !

The curtains (AUTO GARDINEN in German) for the W126 seem to be easy to find - the W116 not.

You can try this email address. They claim to have them for all SE and SEL

luxusline@web.de

and this is their eBay store

Craig, you were faster.
yes it was this baimex62 fellow who advertised them in the german ebay. He dosent appear to have a listing on them at the moment, but you could ask him. They were not expensive, around 60 e, certainly not worth having your wife do them from cloth.
I have the w126 curtains and they fit well.

regards, tomi

I think I'd get a two word answer if I asked my wife to make curtains for my car !

Thanks very much guys. I've e-mailed Baimex and we shall see what he comes back with.

Cheers,

James

Are yours the electric or manual ones Tomi ? I presume you mean they fit well in a W116 ?

In Japan and here in hawaii Curtains are very popular to put into the back of your car. They are "VIP" style....that is a style of tuning in Japan.... anyway i can ask a friend of mine if he can get curtain that will fit the back windows. If you want i can let you know what he says about it and price.

They are manual, and yes they fit the W116 SEL well

I think curtains would look really cool and be pretty useful in the heat we are having. How do they work?  I saw a car years ago and it had small chrome rails and you pulled the drapes along them.

I have just fitted front side window wind deflectors today and they look very retro!

Toyota makes the Century model which by far the coolest Toyota ever. They come with curtains!
