Superb 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL, prepared by Carat Duchatelet, with 171, 000 km.
A very rare prestige model, combining the luxury of the W126 S-Class with the exclusive Carat Duchatelet finish.
Carat Duchatelet is a Belgian coachbuilder-restorer specialising in ultra-high-end transformations of prestige vehicles, notably Mercedes-Benz, in the 1980s–1990s.
Their work involved turning already luxurious sedans into true customised limousines, often for heads of state, diplomats or top executives.
Each car was almost unique, built to order.
