The Attractions

In the 1980s, for those who wanted a luxurious four-seat coupe, the fashionable choice was a 560SEC. Favoured by racing drivers and trend-setters alike, the C126 could also be extensively customised - either at the factory or by contacting one of the many specialists.
Among them was dealer Carat Duchatelet, who was able to make the 560SEC considerably better, both inside and out. 200 of these cars were made.
The 560SEC Carat Duchatelet is probably the definitive version of what is arguably Stuttgart's best classic coupé. Which offers further guarantees as to its rarity and value.
With 134,000 km on the odometer, this rarity has been well preserved and is in perfect working order. It is offered for sale having received a recent service and with a valid overhaul.
