You could get a R107/W126 manual in euro spec though and converted, there were some of these brought into the USA.

Unfortunately no V8 manual was available since the early 70's. I think a 450SL was offered with a manual.. but not 100%. I don't know SL's well. Regarding the w126, I have seen 260,280 and 300 models with manual transmissions. Again, none of these are V8's
