1956 Facel Vega FV2B for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1956 Facel Vega FV2B is a used car showing 77,287 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Dark blue with a Red interior.

Many Facel enthusiasts rate the second FV2 series above the others, and the FV2B is its short-lived last step: it pairs the new panoramic windscreen with the original single headlamps, before stacked lamps arrived on the FV3 later in 1956. Of the few built, the dealer estimates around forty survive, and very few of those have the manual gearbox fitted here.

Facel sold this car directly to its first owner, the industrialist Gérard Foussier, at a time when buyers waited up to eight months. A later German owner had it fully restored in 2012, and a Dutch Facel Vega specialist has since maintained it without compromise. It keeps its original, matching-numbers 5.4-litre DeSoto Hemi S-24, and its history is known from new.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Facel Vega FV2B uses the 5,413 cc Chrysler Hemi V8, rated at 285 hp (210 kW) and a top speed of 198 km/h, with a Chrysler automatic or, at extra cost, a four-speed Pont-à-Mousson manual gearbox.

FAQ

This Facel Vega FV2B in the European market

Can this Facel Vega be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Facel Vega FV2B cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €4,497 in France, excluding options. This car is advertised at €187,500, 4069% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1956 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

Who is selling this Facel Vega FV2B, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Facel Vega FV2B be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Facel Vega FV2B still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Gallery Aaldering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the Netherlands?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
