Sorry not get any pics – Bonhams block you from copying them, it’s their loss – but an HK500 is coming up for sale at their Goodwood sale this weekend, at the Members’ meeting. The car featured is a left hand drive HK500, chassis number Z8. This is a car that was originally delivered in…
Retromobile, the fantastically popular classic car show held annually In Paris, took place last week with the usual excellent turnout of Facel Vegas. The Amicale Facel Vega – the French owners club – took pride of place with their stand on which was exhibited the prototype Facellia which became Jean Daninos’s personal transport. As…

I hope you don’t mind if I occasionally re-cycle Facel material that I’ve found elsewhere. One constant source of Facel information is the French site mentioned in the links menu and this is where I found news of an HK500 being restored by Pitt Lane Restorations at Winchester which is around 30 miles from me!…
Found one of those websites that advertises every classic car that is for sale worldwide, and it included three Facels from the well known St Louis, Missouri classic car dealer Mark Hyman at Hyman Ltd. One of them, however is right hand drive, so it was worth further investigation. Hyman is quite a Facel specialist…
RM Auctions Lot 170 Facel Vega HK500 The Facel Vega HK500 at RM Auctions in Paris sold for exactly its low estimate: €120,000 on Wednesday evening. This was a good looking car but it came up at 22.21 in the evening, the third last lot of the auction and in just one minute, rose from…
