Facel Vega Facel II – French Elegance Meets American Power
Some cars are fast. Others are incredibly rare. And then, there are a few that combine both. The Facel Vega Facel II is a prime example—an ultra-exclusive grand tourer wrapped in timeless French styling.

This is chassis number 57 of only 182 ever built. A supercar avant la lettre, a machine that kings, Hollywood stars, and Formula 1 legends had in their personal collections. Stirling Moss owned one. So did Ringo Starr. Tony Curtis, Danny Kaye, and Ava Gardner couldn’t resist either. And honestly? We completely understand why.

French Design, American Muscle
What do you get when you combine the style of a Parisian couturier, the luxury of a Rolls-Royce, and the raw power of an American muscle car?

The Facel Vega Facel II. Some standout features of this magnificent automobile include:

– A timeless, hand-crafted design, built by French artisans with an unrivaled attention to detail—something we may never see again.
– A massive Chrysler V8 under the hood, because why complicate things when you can go big? A bold choice, yet absolutely brilliant!
– Luxury from top to bottom—from the finest leather to a dashboard that looks like a Swiss timepiece.

And this specific Facel II? It has been fully restored in its original Bleu Facel Irisé, retains matching numbers, and has been meticulously maintained by a renowned Dutch Facel Vega specialist.

A Fully Documented Provenance
This example was delivered new in 1962 to Auto Becker in Düsseldorf and was used by a German electronics giant as an executive company car. Back then, the Facel II wasn’t just a luxury car—it was a symbol of success at the highest level.
The car remained in service until 1971, after which it was cherished by a single family for over 40 years. And the best part? Every detail has been documented—from the original purchase contract to ownership records spanning its entire life.
A Facel II is rare, but a Facel II with a fully traceable history from day one? That’s priceless.

Professionally Restored and Mechanically Sorted
Let’s be honest—a Facel Vega deserves nothing but the best. That’s why this Facel II was meticulously restored by experts who know exactly how this car should be.

– Original Bleu Facel Irisé paint—a color that makes this car even more exclusive.
– Immaculate chrome details—because a Facel should shine.
– Original wheels in top condition.
– Black leather interior, completely restored to factory specifications.
– A V8 engine that starts like a Swiss watch and runs like a true American powerhouse.
– Correct period details that transport you straight back to 1962.

Facel Vega: The Car of the Elite
Facel Vega was the French Rolls-Royce, but with more speed and more charisma. This was a brand that never prioritized mass production. Between 1954 and 1964, Facel built only 2,900 cars—each one a statement of exclusivity and refinement.
The Facel II was the final model and, according to many enthusiasts, the best.

– Did you know that a Facel II cost as much as a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud when new?
– That it could reach a top speed of 150 mph (240 km/h)?
– That F1 legends like Stirling Moss and Maurice Trintignant owned and drove one privately?

Facel Vega built cars for the true elite—individuals who appreciated exclusivity and sought something different from Ferrari or Aston Martin. This was a car for those who demanded something truly unique, powerful, and impeccably stylish.

A Rare Opportunity to Own a Legend
With only 182 examples ever built, the Facel Vega Facel II is a true collector’s piece. But with fully documented provenance, a professional restoration, and an iconic color scheme, this particular example is a true jewel of French luxury and American power.

This car represents a golden era of hand-built automobiles, where craftsmanship, performance, and prestige defined the best of the best.
