Amongst them, the Facel II is rarer still - and a RHD model is one of the rarest of them all (only a dozen in the UK).
The FVCC was formed in 1977 under the name "Facel Vega Owners Club" by a few enthusiasts, and some of the founder members are still with the club today.
The aims of the club are to share the fun of classic cars, with the underlying serious purpose of preserving an historically significant vehicle of which only a small number remain.

 Facel Vega Car Club
Before and during the period of Facel Vega production there was another side to the Facel business: building special bodies for the major car companies, Ford (France) and Simca in particular.
As Simca was at full capacity in their own plants, Facel Métallon was chosen to produce the car.
With the possible exception of the rather clumsy grille, the styling was very elegant and characteristic of the later Facel Vega's.
