MOTOR CARS | 261This example of a car widely recognised as one of the top ten
automotive designs of all time represents the model in its ultimate
812 supercharged configuration. The current vendor’s father, a
Spanish collector of fine automobiles, purchased the Cord in South
America in 1985. Between 2002 and 2005 the car underwent a
complete ‘last nut and bolt’ restoration in Switzerland and in 2007
won its class at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza in Villa d’Este.
There are photographs on file of the Concorso and also of the car
prior to its restoration. Presented in generally excellent condition,
this sublime Cord 812 is offered with restoration invoices, Spanish
registration document and FIVA papers.
