The car was restored by Amicale Facel Holland (AFH) which included stripping the body back to bare metal and repainting in the original Bleu Facel Irisé colour. The engine, gearbox, suspension and steering were overhauled, and the electrical system fully checked and renewed where necessary. Modern air condition was fitted in the original style, while additional options including electric cooling fans, a brake fluid level warning lamp and a hazard warning system were installed also. The restoration was completed in August 2009 and the Facel had covered only some 1,500 kilometres when it was sold to the current owner in March 2010.

• One of only 182 made • Bought from the first owner by Amicale Facel Holland in 2007 • Restored by Amicale Facel Holland • Present ownership since 2010 "The HK500 was the most interesting car we ever made but the Facel II was the best.
It was totally elegant." – Jean Daninos.
In its relatively short life, the French firm of Facel produced approximately 2,900 cars, all of which were stylish, luxurious, and fast.
Hand built, they were necessarily very expensive – the Facel II was priced in Rolls-Royce territory – and bought by the rich and famous seeking something exclusive and distinctive.
The roll call of owners includes royalty, politicians, diplomats, and entertainers: Tony Curtis, Danny Kaye, Ringo Starr, Joan Fontaine, and Ava Gardner being counted among the latter.
Confirming that there was high-performance substance behind Facel's unquestionable style, they were owned and driven by great motor racing figures such as Sir Stirling Moss, Maurice Trintignant, and Rob Walker.
