Details by owner
This FACEL-VEGA Facellia is a sports car that combines the elegance of Parisian coachbuilding art and impressive American V8 performance with a high quality, professionally-built Buick all-aluminum 215 V8 and Rover 5-speed overdrive transmission. The engine looks perfectly at home as if factory-installed in Paris and the acceleration is all one could want and more. The strong mechanicals provide a sportier driving feel than an HK500, feels faster than an HK500 below highway speeds while retaining nimble and balanced sports car handling as the aluminum V8 weighs less than the original Pont-a-Mousson 4-cylinder engine. The livery is a charismatic and sporty white with a red stripe over a red interior. This Facellia offers fun, camaraderie, and exclusive classic European sports car ownership. You can expect that when arriving in this Facellia at a car show or cars and coffee you will have one of the rarest and most interesting of vehicles.

It small and has low profile than the mostly competitors in its era, but inversely proportional to its achievements, the 550 spyder was called as the giant killer, are is one of the motorsport car legends.

This car is a well-sorted build has appeared in The Robb Report, the Orange County Register and has been a special display at several concours events as well as being invited by Porsche North America to run fan laps at Laguna Seca at Rennsport Reunion IV in 2011. We purchased the car from the previous owner who is renowned 550 replica builder Russ Rodriguez from Azusa California. It has been in our collection for the past 5 years, and as we transition into building our own Spyder recreations in aluminum alloy, it is time for this car to find a new owner to enjoy some quality driving experiences with. We have enjoyed the car for the past 5 years and have used the car frequently on driving tours and events with flawless performance.

This car is docile enough to drive in traffic or around town cruising on a date night, but potent enough for a spirited drive down a country lane, and canyon road, or a track day. Here is a video of the car being pursued by another Spyder up the Pacific Coast Highway in California on the way to Rennsport Reunion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqplxWkkKdw

A great deal of effort was made to make sure that the details on this particular car were as correct as possible from the body fittings and badges, to the gauges, handbrake, seats, and pedal assembly. This car drives as good as it looks. It is ready to get in and go and has covered right at 1,571 miles since its construction; ensuring that it is well-sorted and ready to go but not tired and in need of attention. This car is ready to go and will provide a rewarding driving experience rivaled only by the real thing!
