Facel-Vega Facellia - the little purebred brother

January 16, 2013 — Rob de la Rive Box (1984) und Bruno von Rotz (2011)40

For years, Jean Daninos had been accused of his cars being "bastards". They could not be compared with Jaguar, Ferrari or Aston Martin, which built their own engines. Daninos used Chrysler engines in his Facel-Vega. But when he resorted to his own engine design for the Facellia, he ran into major warranty claims, which practically spelled the end of the once proud Facel company. This article tells the story of the little Facel-Vega and is illustrated in particular with many historical pictures and five original brochures from the time - unique!
