hello guys

[mr-muz]

since i was young lad i always wanted a sec even tho i wanted 500-560 i couldnt resist this 420 sec carat duchatelet (which i dont have a clue what it is)
if anybody could give a little more information on em would be good.
it had been sitting a year b4 i picked it up but she was mot for the 6 month period of this 12 months so first thing i did was wash her and chuck her thru mot and it only failed on tyres and passenger side brake caliper sticking. have already ordered some new wheels for her as one of the wheels was buggered when i got her and coulnt find a replacement one

ended up with buying these wheel i was nearly talked into getting 18's but had my heard set on these so ended with the 16s

Welcome! Very smart looking car.

Here's a small article about Duchatelet Carat that will give you an idea about your car.

Welcome to the forum, the 16" penta alloys you've got will suit the car much better.

Welcome fellow newbie!
I too have coveted the big SEC's since I was a nipper, there is something so uber sexy about the styling for me. Congrats on living the dream, I reckon I could be very happy cruising around in there.

Keep the wheels - the 3 left may be worth a bit second hand especially if you give em a decent refurb since they are pretty rare as you discovered.

 

[mr-muz]

I'll def keep the wheels as I might be able to find one for my self one day

Oh you bought that one, well done. I was watching it with interest, lovely interior etc. Hope it serves you well. And excellent choice on the wheels, they'll look fantastic. 225/50 is right I think.
