Marque analyst note

The Cord 810/812 is trading at a median of AUD $164,167 in the Australian market, but momentum is decidedly negative with a 14.8% year-on-year decline and a sell signal in place. The broader trajectory suggests continued weakness, with base-case projections pointing to AUD $117,274 over three years and AUD $105,694 over five years—declines of 28.6% and 35.6% respectively.

This model sits at a collectibility tier of 8 out of 10, reflecting its status as a highly collectible pre-war marque with only 3,000 units produced. Nevertheless, current desirability in the Australian market registers as low, and liquidity remains severely constrained with zero active listings and no tracked sales in the past year.

The absence of transaction data over the past 12 months underscores just how illiquid this segment has become. With no recent comparable sales to anchor pricing, any seller considering exit should expect meaningful negotiation friction and extended holding periods.

The three- to five-year outlook points toward continued depreciation despite the car's historical significance and rarity. The divergence between intrinsic collectibility and current market appetite suggests structural headwinds in demand rather than temporary softness, warranting patience from prospective buyers and realistic pricing from current holders.
