The Appeal
While the company only existed for ten years, Facel Vega still managed to produce some of the most stylish and luxurious grand tourers of their day. These hand-built cars were the choice of celebrities and aristocrats, with production numbers remaining extremely limited. This 1958 example is the rare FVS 4 from Facel Vega's golden era.
Our Facel has undergone an extensive frame-off restoration, with substantial investment already made in returning this prestigious vehicle to its former glory. With the major mechanical components already rebuilt and only finishing work remaining, this represents an opportunity to complete a high-quality restoration of a significant classic.
