Facel vega facellia or facel 3 for sale, whatever condition?

[just john]

I wonder if anyone is a member of the club or has details of any facellia or facel 3 for sale, since I am looking for a classic car for France, having had (and still got some) english classics I am up for the challenge(!) of something french! any info gratefully received.

[8-|] whatever your labours, it is still a beautiful world. Be happy.

Have a look at the small ads here:

If you wait a few months - certainly round here - there are often little local "rallies" and gatherings where quite few vehicles can be seen for sale.  If you are around the Sarthe in June, visit the Classic British Welcome, where a number of French car clubs gather (as well as Brit ones) and you can chat to all the locals.  There's also the Classic "24 hours" in July this year (but of course you'll be ready to bring your FV along by then!)

Brilliant, thanks for that, sorry to say it is full of people asking for exactly the same as me! hey ho I kinda knew it wasn't going to be easy, if you come across anything else I would be glad to hear, I've been looking since I last went to the classic 24 hours having got rid of my healey and not wanting to rely solely on my stag! (yes I've heard it before).

[8-|] sometimes you lose, because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do

I always thought a Facel Vega was an easy Italian woman. perhaps Coops can enlighten me....[6]

For those who had their hands on Bristols or driven Jensens .. I leave the field open

Hi Anton
just to avoid any confusion, the facellia or facel 3 is the little pretty 4 cyl one, like a french chique MGB, though more expensive and not so reliable, (although I quite like some of the larger mobile sofa's you mention)

[8-|] Remember the compliments, forget the insults; if you succeed in this, tell me how!
