Facel Vega Restoration - Painted Wood effect on metal

By Simon Lorkin - Classic Dashboards

Here's is the recent letter of reference from the French owner of this rare Facel Vega Excellence series II.
"I am fortunate to own a rare Facel Vega car, an "Excellence series 2". This car was imported from the United States a few years ago and gave me some pleasure in its condition but obviously it had to be restored. "
"Despite my reservations, I decided to therefore bring myself to choose good craftsmen, including one of them for a painting of the iconic Facel Dashboard. The work and experience of Simon LORKIN convinced me to give him this delicate work. "
"This experience was new to him because usually he paints a burr walnut wood effect, but the dashboards of the Facel Vega's are very specific and obviously it was necessary to keep the original spirit. After several tests, discussions, Simon the perfectionist, has succeeded in the challenge and has reproduced the way that I wanted it - the famous Facel look."
"I urge to all who are in need, Simon LORKIN to undertake a restoration of quality because you will not be disappointed"
