| | CanadianDriver: Motoring Memories: Facel Vega |
 | | The Facel Vega Excellence, a formal long-wheelbase four-door, pillarless, hardtop version launched in 1957, was continued until 1964. |
 | | Thanks to lower weight at 1,633 kg (3,600 lb), the Facel II was even faster, estimates putting the top speed near 242 km/h (150 mph), with zero to 96 (60) about a second faster than the HK500. |
 | | Facel 6 with an Austin-Healey 3000 six, reduced to 2.8 litres for tax reasons, was even tried, but it was too late to recover from the Facellia's tarnished reputation. |
