Market commentary
Easily one of the most dramatic automobiles ever built, a black 812 sedan with outside exhaust headpipes exudes sinister presence. In the opinion of many it is the sedan, whether Beverly or Westchester, not the Sportsman or Phaeton, that best presents the elements of Gordon Buehrigs timeless design. This example has all the right stuff and brought a deserved premium price for its condition and originality. Its not show ready, but it will still make its statement on the road.
