Description:
Facel S.A. was founded as a division of Bronzavia, a French aviation company. The handcrafted vehicles with tasteful bodywork and every conceivable luxury sold like hot cakes. Politicians and actors, industrialists and racing drivers drove FACEL VEGA. Many French ministers and ambassadors, Ringo Starr of the Beatles, Ava Gardner or Stirling Moss, the Shah of Persia or King Hassan of Morocco all drove one or even several models of the brand.
The Facel Vega presented here was delivered to Portugal in April 1957. In 2007, the car was rediscovered as part of a collection of 180 "barn finds". Under the direction of its previous owner, the vehicle was completely restored to the highest standard over a period of four years. The restoration process is documented in an extensive folder with photos and invoices. The car already has the more powerful FV3B engine, a five-speed manual gearbox and electric power steering.
An exciting combination of elegant European style and American V8 power, the Facel Vega is a worthy successor to the legendary French Grandes Routières of the pre-war era. The beautiful dashboard is reminiscent of the cockpit of an aeroplane. Facel Véga: the great French Grand Tourisme and a French work of art on wheels!
Engine: Chrysler-P31-engine (intern Facel so-called 'TY4'), ca. 250 hp, 4,9-ltr.
