History
The Facel Vega FV3 appeared in October 1956, succeeding the first FV coupés and reinforcing Facel's stature as a prestigious French manufacturer. True to the brand's philosophy, it combined elegant French bodywork with a powerful Chrysler V8 engine. In terms of aesthetics, the FV3 series is notable for introducing the double headlight configuration that would become Facel's visual signature. Extremely exclusive, only 46 FV3s were produced before it was replaced by the FV3 B in 1957.
🇫🇷Our model is a narrow body, of which only 26 were produced. This car was delivered new on 20 December 1956 to a wealthy industrialist in Saint-Saulve in northern France. It subsequently changed hands seven times before being purchased by its current owner in 2016.

This car is in very good overall condition. The bodywork is in good condition. It was professionally restored several years ago. The paintwork has a uniform shine and is well stretched. However, there are some minor flaws around the car. The "Glacetex" windscreen has been replaced. The "Robergel" rims and "Marchal" headlights are in very good condition. We have not found any signs of significant impact or perforating corrosion. Inside, the patinated seats are in good condition. The painted dashboard is in good condition. This model is equipped with a "Pathé Marconi" radio. The headliner is taut. The dashboard instruments are functional. ⚙️The Typhoon TY3 V8 engine starts and runs normally. The "Pont à Mousson" gearbox shifts smoothly. The car handles very well on the road.
