Engine
Chrysler V8 with twin four-barrel carburettors
Colour
Iridescent Facel Blue

The Facel II was the final V8-powered model from the short-lived French luxury marque Facel Vega, with only 182 examples constructed before production ended in 1964. This particular car, chassis HK2 B 169, was supplied new to Belgium in the distinctive Iridescent Facel Blue finish and equipped from the outset with a Pont-à-Mousson manual gearbox, wire wheels, and twin four-barrel carburettors. With just over 45,000 km recorded, it has been in its current ownership since 2011 and requires recommissioning.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
