MB 380 SEL Supercharger duchatelet
 
Hi
I am new to this board and looking for some help. I have found a 380 sel with carat by duchatalet, on the rear of the boot lid, the engine is the V8 with a well designed and fitted supercharger, fitted to top RHS (from drivers seat) and connected to the normal air intake (with filter removed) by a cast alloy inlet tube. the seller says that this was fitted as a factory option???. car seems slightly lower, the car is in the UK,
can anyone help me with some info on this vehicle, I know that duch.. is now known for lavish interiors ajnd stretch/armoured vehicles, but did they fit superchargers on 1981??.
any other thoughts ref mechanical reliability, fuel systems etc
please help. all info gratefully recieved. email me directly if you wish at petermwatts@ntlworld.com
Thanks

peter

Go to Duchatelets website, I was on it the other day, i think that if you sent them an Email with the VIN, they might be able to tell you what was done to it. I forget the address but found it under a websearch for carat duchatelet
