Following on from Mark's comments on the Facellia, I know a little of these cars.
It appears to be an early FA series, of which 414 convertibles, 36 2+2 coupés and 68 4-seater coupés were manufactured. The door handles give it away in the small circular button pushes. The front rad. side grilles, with the metal strip between them and the metal strips along the sides are not standard fitment.
The car is fitted with the desirable Nardi steering wheel and the Borrani pierced-disc Turbo road wheels should be painted silver, not white.
Overall however, a very desirable car.
I remember as a youth, viewing an ex Peter Sellers' Facel Vega for sale at Lazenby Garages, in Rothley Leics. A Mecca for exotica - how many people remember them?!
