- Black (older repaint; originally Tudor Grey)
The eighth Facel II constructed, chassis HK2A107 was assembled in January 1962 and delivered to Hoffman Motors for display at that year's New York Auto Show. One of only approximately 182 examples built, it left the factory in Tudor Grey over red upholstery and specified with Borrani wire wheels and a 383ci Chrysler V8 mated to a Torqueflite automatic. After an obscure early American history, the car passed to a Lebanese collector based in London before its current ownership from 2009.
