Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1960 Facel Vega Excellence, chassis number EX1 B086, boasts exceptional provenance from the Roger Baillon Collection and was originally sold to Helen Kirby de Bagration. Despite needing mechanical reconditioning, it's remarkably well-preserved with original features and low mileage, making it a prime candidate for preservation class at Concours d'Elegance events. The car is being sold without a title of circulation.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in incredible well-preserved condition, retaining its original Tudor Grey livery and sumptuous black leather upholstery. The dashboard still features its extraordinary wood effect paint, and the odometer shows 52,213 km, with a drain label from 1965 indicating 48,221 km, suggesting limited use. Although a mechanical reconditioning is advised before restarting, the car is considered a perfect contender for preservation class in Concours d'Elegance events. The absence of a title of circulation and the need for mechanical reconditioning contribute to a rating below pristine or outstanding.

En décembre de la même année, elle est acquise par Roger Baillon, et ce n'est qu'en 2015 qu'elle sortira de l'oubli, lors de la dispersion historique de la fameuse collection Baillon par Artcurial Motorcars.
