I keep track of how many 600SEL's & S600's are in Australia ,every time one comes up for sale I save it's details , i'm missing on the two in Hombush , a black one and one in blue color .
I don't think I pictured Trevors 600SEL here from Melbourne .
I don't keep track of how many CL600's are around ,I know 1 in silver/beige is around in Sydney .
More or less I think there are only 12-15 in Australia all up , considering some hidden once , unregistered 140's and maybe one or two that have never been offered for sale .
Joe , you know of any more ???? . :thumbsup:

Yes ,they are all LWB 600's except for one .

Where is it advertised? I want to have a look at that car, I thought it was in Shepparton? I would have had my Dad inspect it today, but the listing disappeared off Carsales a week or two ago, I called him about it months ago when it was 1st listed but lost his number.

Yes ,this is the one I almost bought before the one I have now , lucky I passed on it because if not ,I wouldn't have the 1 & only SWB 600 now .
I did make an offer for $18000 at the time ,it was priced $22,500 back then , i'm still waiting for the call back if the offer had been accepted or not lol.
I have about 20 pictures and all the records for this car .
So , how many have we found in total now ,24 + 1 SWB ? .:thumbsup:

I heard a story about a 600 that required a full engine rebuild. It had a leaking head gasket and leaked enough water into a cylinder that the owner bent the crank from hydraulic lock. It got rebuilt down here in Wollongong at an independent, the only time they ever saw a 600.
