I just returned from Europe where I have friends who collect MB and Pagoda related materials for me. Among the goodies brought back (like the 2004 Classic SL calender) I found the following (as translated by me):

(MB Classic Center, Classic Information 01/2004)
Of course, your local MB importer, e.g. MBUSA, will get these parts for you too, I don't know at what price.
The same Classic Information also lists vehicles the Classic Center is selling right now (also available on their website). It is interesting to see how high the prices in Germany are in comparison to the US. E.g. a partially restored 230 SL 1964, white-grey, black MB-Tex, is offered at Euro 69,500.- ($ 87,500.-); a 280 SL 1969, grey, brown leather, is listed as "price upon request", which probably means more than Euro 100,000.
