A 1962 Facel Vega Facel II Coupé, chassis HK2 A146, is one of only 182 examples of the final V8-engined Facel model produced before the company ceased trading in 1964. Ordered through the Düsseldorf agent Becker and built in May 1962, it was delivered with Chrysler Torqueflite automatic transmission, power-assisted steering and brakes, a limited-slip differential, and Borrani wheels in grey metallic over red. The car spent most of its life in Germany before passing to the United States and later to Czech ownership. A comprehensive restoration was carried out between 2015 and 2017.
