Rare Facel Vega FV2 Coupe
The 1956 Facel Vega FV2 Coupe is a rare piece of automotive history, with only 30 examples built. This particular chassis, FV2 56056, was delivered new to the wife of founder Jean Daninos himself – a special detail that underscores its exclusivity. The car underwent a body-off restoration around 2015/2016 and is in excellent condition. Under the long hood lies the powerful 5.4L De Soto HEMI V8 engine with 250 hp, mated to an automatic transmission. Hand-built, extremely rare, and prepared by a Facel specialist in the Netherlands, it recently underwent approximately €5,000 in maintenance. An absolute icon of the Franco-American Grande Routière tradition.
The elegant design combines a black exterior with a stylish red leather interior, giving the car an imposing and luxurious appearance. Inside, the famous hand-painted wood-effect dashboard immediately catches the eye – a work of art on steel that perfectly mimics the illusion of real walnut and is one of Facel Vega's most iconic details. Combined with the classic gauges and the period-style RetroSound Model Two radio, the interior exudes pure exclusivity. The stylish spoked wheels with whitewall tires emphasize the grandeur of this coupé. This FV2 was cherished for years in a prestigious private collection in the UK and is ready for a new owner who appreciates style, luxury, and performance.
