The Facel-Vega Facel III (type FB), produced between 1963 and 1964, was developed as a matter of urgency in response to criticisms of reliability and to reassure customers following the problems encountered by the Facellia. To remedy the situation, the old block was replaced by the Volvo B18-B 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, renowned for its robustness and developing 108 bhp. This engine was mated to a Volvo gearbox, with optional overdrive, while retaining the Facellia's running gear. Aesthetically, it retained the general appearance of the previous model, but adopted a grille reminiscent of the Facel II, softened rear wings, a rounded boot lid and circular headlamps. Introduced in April 1963, it went on sale immediately, reflecting the company's desire to turn itself around. Six hundred and twenty-five examples were built (including 192 convertibles) before being replaced by the six-cylinder Facel 6.

🇫🇷Cet was first registered in April 1964. The current owner bought it in 2008.
