AIUI there is one country where the supply of cars has been almost as
limited as the supply of British houses.

That would be singapore.

I was there on business in late 1995, one of the local expats was telling
me he'd just paid the equivalent of 45K stg for a 3 year old toyota
corolla.

That said, I've never seen as many S class Mercs in one place at one time
ever.

The Singapore situation is somewhat different - it is registering the
cars that is the expensive part. However, I think the cost of that has
fallen slightly now that they've got their complicated congestion charge
scheme BICBW.
