Notes	The original wire wheels were Robergel bolt-on wire wheels (with Michelin X radial tyres) and were only offered as an option. Some early Facel Vega had a type 42 hub, fitted with 4½" x 14" wire wheels (XW515 chrome or silver-painted). With the introduction of the HK-500 in 1958, Borrani wire wheels became an option, and the drum brakes were replaced by disc brakes (previously only offered as an option on the FVS).
