AI Listing Summary
This 1963 Facel Vega Facel II, chassis number H2KA186, is one of fewer than 185 produced and was originally delivered to the United States.

Condition
6
The car's 30-year-old restoration shows wear, including wear on door and hood edges. The interior leather shows some creasing, and the carpeting needs replacement. While it starts and runs, recommissioning is recommended after 14 years off the road. These factors suggest a rating below 'Excellent'.
