History
The Facel Vega Facel II (type HK2), produced from 1961 to 1964, marked its era. The successor to the HK 500 coupé, this French Grand Tourer was quickly hailed by the international press as the most beautiful post-war French car and the fastest four-seater coupé in the world.
Presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1961, its sleek looks immediately won over the public. Its elegance was often compared to that of the designs of the greatest Italian stylists. Long and low, the Facel II was fitted with an extremely slender roof, adorned with stainless steel inserts. New headlamps were fitted, the Megalux, created specially by Marchal for Facel Vega.
This model is very rare, with the brand stating that only 184 examples were produced.
🇺🇲 This Facel was delivered new in 1962 from the factory to its first owner in the United States.
🇫🇷 It made its return to France in 1995. This model benefited from a complete restoration that lasted two years (supported by a file of photos). Its current owner bought it in 2005.
🏅 This Facel won the 2011 La Baule Concours d'Elegance en Automobile.

Conditions
This car is in very good condition.
🚘 The bodywork of this Facel is well preserved. The grey paintwork is tight and looks good. We can note the presence of very light scratches. The Borani spoke wheels and headlights are in good condition. The chrome is not pitted and has a nice shine.
On board, the blue leather seats are in good condition. The leather shows signs of wear in several places, but this is consistent with the car's age. The painted dashboard is in good condition. The chequered leather headlining is tightly stretched. The on-board instrumentation is functional. The car is fitted with a PO-GO radio and a magnificent Nardi mahogany steering wheel.
The original Chrysler 6.3-litre V8 engine, known as the "Typhoon TY8", was overhauled during the restoration. It starts and runs normally. The owner states that the car is maintained very regularly. The TorqueFlite automatic gearbox provides smooth gear changes. The powertrain is capable of speeds approaching 230 km/h. Braking is assisted by 4-wheel discs. Roadholding is very good.

Selling a classic car is not easy; buyers are always cautious, which is understandable. The fear of being deceived is real, given the significant amounts sometimes at stake. CarJager supports and advises you throughout the entire sales process. All administrative procedures are fully handled, and the payment is secured. A responsive and available team. It is true that all these services come at a significant cost. But it is probably the price of peace of mind and trust between buyers and sellers.
