This one was spotted on Ebay Australia extremely cheap - unbelievable for such a low mileage example. It's VERY hard to find these cars in late model form (1996-1998) - most are the earlier S500s. Hard to say how many would be about but estimate only a few hundred C140 CL500s on the road in Australia (maybe a couple of thousand cars if you include the earlier S500 coupes and the 1992/93 SECs.

The seller at the time noted that the car had a couple of issues (rear window regulator and sinroof) - both not too difficult to fix and certainly worthwhile. Hope to see someone purchase this and clean up the exterior a bit - the interior however looks amazing. This is an original AUstralian delivered example as per the VIN plate.
