Originals are NLA but you can find one that will work on ebay for about 20 bucks.  The major differences in the two are the lenght and base.  

Here's one on ebay.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hirschmann-Antenna-Mercedes-108-113-280-SL-SE-SEL-4-5_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33639QQihZ020QQitemZ300196968460QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Hirschmann HIT 2040 are still available and very close to what was originally installed. Have a look here:

Oops... just saw you were looking for a manual antenna.... oh well, I'll leave the aboveinfo here for those interested.
