Yes
This 1957 Facel Vega FV3 is an extremely rare specimen, both in its original condition and due to its film role in the French film Sagan (2008). Originally delivered to a Swiss lawyer, this iconic French car then spent many years in France, where it was well cared for and cherished.
Unbelievably original bodywork
The gray paint on this FV3 is probably still original and has developed a beautiful patina over the years. The body, with its clean lines and distinctive panoramic windshield, is in a unique condition that reflects the true character of the car. The chrome work, logos and steel details have stood the test of time well, giving the car a beautiful, authentic look. Although the paint shows some minor damage, this adds precisely to the timeless charm of this classic.
Elegant and original interior
The interior of the Facel is largely original, with only minimal modifications. The upholstery was once renewed, but is completely intact and well maintained. The dashboard with beautifully weathered woodwork, original steering wheel and gauges give a nostalgic glimpse of the past. Every detail of this car exudes the sophistication and luxury for which Facel Vega is so well known.
Powerful Chrysler V8 engine in good condition
Under the hood is an impressive 6.3-liter Chrysler Typhoon V8 with 365 horsepower, which is still in good condition. The engine has been well maintained and runs smoothly, making for a great driving experience. With mileage of only 76,334 miles, this car is not only a beautiful museum piece, but also ready for the road.
