Hello,
I also found this last week. The wood is the same as mine, Maple wood,
which actually was the standard wood on the last CLs.
Yes, it is a lot lighter than burl or zebrano.
The other question was covered not long ago in this fora;
http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w140...e-ever-4.html?
The car in question sure look like a euro model. For certain, it not a US one,
since the license plate on the back is large, the interior is not "exclusive" (covered
in leather) which would be standard on a CL600 and if you run the VIN decoder
her;
Mercedes-Benz Club Russia | Mercedes-Benz / VIN
you will get that it was sold in Mannheim, Germany;

...what I then react to, is that the data record shows emerald black, and
the car is blue, but that maybe an error in the record or error in looking
up the 189 color...
