The man from the world’s best four piece sells his four-seater. Anyone interested in this French klassiekerjuweeltje?

Facel Vega is now a bygone name in the car industry. Ever, between 1954 and 1964, rolled off the most wonderful bodies in the Paris factory, usually with American Chrysler engines (the period that they switched to a 1.7-liter baggermotoren we store just about). One of those models was the by Jean Daninos signed Facel Vega Facel II.

The Facel II of Beatles drummer Ringo Star (chassis number HK2 B160, was one of the two Facel Vega’s, with a 6.7-liter Chrysler Typhoon-block. It gave this manual luxeslee 390 hp.

The fact that there are only 182 copies were built, of which only 26 with the steering wheel on the right side, and also of the “Yellow Submarine” singer has been the price will be quite a boost. But also without airs, it remains a pricey little cart, that much is clear. Those who are interested: he goes on 1 december at Bonhams in London under the hammer.

Oh, besides, there is someone/a group/Victor Muller engaged with the resurrectie of Facel Vega, which we recently released the first images saw, but since then is quiet for a moment.
