Just a thought. Would it be more effiecient to have a running list of the NLAs, so we easily determine if its already been mentioned? Maybe it could be a wiki thing? Or do we have that somewhere and I am missing it?

James,

you are right, that would be much easier in a table in a Wiki. Editable and maintainable by everyone. Please feel free to start one.

Regrettably most of us are happy to post here, but reticent to update the wiki.

I just read through this list again after a year or so.  While it gets frustrating not have all the parts we want for our babies.....TRY OWNING A W111!   I recently purchased a 280SE 3.5 Cabrio that's in #2 condition.   As with all cars, there are parts needed to make it the way "we" personally want them.   The list of unavailable parts is numerous compared to Pagodas.   I have been fortunate to find a lot of them....but the prices!!!   Also, there is a world of information on this site for Pagoda owners....nothing like this exist for W111s (at least in English).

So be thankful for your Pagoda....but get your parts before the supply dries up!
Best Regards,

Well yes, ...

Personally I am extremely interested to know what is no longer available and what is probably going to be reproduced (by daimler ag or others) again.
I have some (unsorted) kind of lists about unavailable or problem parts ("does not fit", "way too  expensive") but I have to work that up first.
I will then post it here - would love to do that (if I may) in the Wiki section.

But still takes a little while - I am currently a bit more busy with other things...

This is a very useful posting.  I am just getting back into my Pagoda after a two year break.   I know parts on my W111 are become NLA at fast rate.   Does anyone have some updates for this?
