Equipment
383/360hp, Pont-a-Mousson 4-speed manual, centerlock alloy wheels, Michelin X tires, pushbutton radio, power windows.
Condition
Delivered new to Pont-a-Mousson president Jean Cavallier and upgraded in period with several bespoke details. The paint is holding up quite well other than a small chip near the driver’s door, but the chrome is starting to look tired. The wheels and underbody are clean. The interior looks lovely other than some age on the steering wheel and radio. A sound older restoration of a special Excellence originally owned by a Facel Vega VIP.
Market commentary
This is a rare and unusually configured car with the PAM 4-speed and many updates from later Facel Vegas but its condition is mediocre. Its performance, however, will be electrifying and it should have brought more interest than shown by the bidders at Bonhams.
