Facel Vega HK500 Facel II and Facel III 1958 to 1964

Standard fitment for the HK500 and Facel II is a 670-15 crossply tyre, which can be replaced with a 185VR15 radial tyre.

The Facel III had a 14-inch wheel with a 590-14 crossply tyre, which can be replaced with a 165R14 radial tyre.

These models represent the peak of Facel Vega, and its decline. The HK500 was an uprated FVS, with even more power and speed. It was France's halo car. The Facel II replaced it in 1961, with even more power and smoother styling and 150mph. Conversely, the Facel III replacement ditched the V8s, having a Volvo 1800 instead. It sold well enough, but the company was in decline before its release.
