What about getting a Facel-Vega Excellence (curved 'screen model) and low-rider-ing it? Not quite sure what you mean by 'curved 'screen model' - that's most FVs! The Excellence is basically a pillarless four door HK500 (the back doors are rear hinged) & also restyled rear wings / boot.   See also hereNot sure I'd want to low-rider one, as they were reputed to have rigidity problems as a result of the pillarless 4 door body  |

Facel Vega?
I picked one of them up on ebay last week for a tenner! Didn't like the look of it so I scrapped it. Didn't know they were so rare sorry!

 So cool I just couldn't resist an impulse bid!  That's crying out to be dropped onto some fat rims with renault 21 4x4 running gear roll cage and a couple of bucket seats;D ;D |

Great isn't it! I think the seller is a genuine enthusiast, not one of those very sad 'must be original blue or it's not genuine' twits. It's only paint for goodness sake.

re: AmazonSprite's comments about curved 'screens on Facels: FYI the last six Excellences didn't have a curved screen: they were almost flat, as the wrap-around was removed, and the 'screen pillars were re-jigged.
I know, I did a PostGrad dissertation about them!

Which is why I wrote: Not quite sure what you mean by 'curved 'screen model' - that's most FVs! Virtually all cars have curved screens.... just a case of how much. If you meant a wrap around or dog leg screen, you should have said so   Where was your post grad, and what subject? I'm guessing car design either at Coventry or the RCA. If so, then you obviously designed a new Facel - got any piccies? |
