1991 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC Carat by Duchatelet Spec | Final-Year Classic Coupe | Dubai Classic Plate
A truly rare opportunity to own a very well preserved, low original mileage, with full documented history, collector grade - SEC 560 enhanced with Carat by Duchatelet original specs - A Belgian coachbuilder known for creating luxurious and bespoke versions of Mercedes-Benz models.
Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 5.5-litre fuel-injected V8, delivering around 279PS to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.
Finished in factory Arctic White over Medium Gray leather, this final-production-year C126 coupe is a U.S.-spec example, backed by a clean title CARFAX report that helps verify mileage and ownership history all the way back to the first owner. It carries a fully traceable provenance from its original purchase in 1992 to its 2025 import into the UAE — currently registered with Dubai classic plates.
Professionally maintained and collector-owned, this SEC was acquired by the first owner in July 1992 and held by the first owner for 20 years until August 2012. The car was then held by AutoHaus classics from 2013 up until it was purchased by the Passport Collection in 2017. The passport collection kept the car in long-term preservation until they sold it in 2025.
The Passport Collection is a private car collection in the United States, based in Terre Haute, Indiana. It was founded by attorney and businessman John W. “Jack” Kennedy Jr. and is known for its large curation of historically significant and collector-grade cars, ranging from classic Mercedes-Benz models to Ferraris and pre-war vehicles.
The car underwent an extensive sympathetic restoration in the USA and then imported to UAE. In Dubai, the car received a full major inspection and service at the best Mercedes Classics specialist - AlFitiani Motors in Al Quoz.
Accompanying the vehicle will be the original key + the original sealed spare or reserve key, owner’s manuals, service books, a clean title CARFAX report verifying history and the original medical kit.
