The car was owned by notable figures and is now finished in metallic green with an original interior, but requires recommissioning after 14 years off the road.
Condition

The car's interior appears to be largely original, but the car was refinished in a metallic green. It has been on static display and off the road for 14 years so recommissioning is recommended before active use.

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.
