02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productioncustomer examples (157 LHD) | 1831 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Production of the Facel II ran from October 1961 to May 1964, with 157 of the 183 cars built in left-hand drive. Power came from a 6.3-litre Chrysler V8, normally paired with a three-speed Chrysler TorqueFlite automatic. The marque counted figures such as Sir Stirling Moss among its admirers.
