Marque analyst note

The Cord 810/812 median price in the Australian market stands at $164,167 AUD, down 14.8% over the past twelve months, a notable reversal that signals deteriorating sentiment in this ultra-rare segment.

With zero recorded transactions in the tracked sample over the past year, liquidity is effectively non-existent, making reliable price discovery impossible and creating substantial friction for any seller attempting to exit a position. The absence of active listings compounds this challenge, suggesting that owners are either holding tightly or have already departed the market.

Despite a collectibility score of 8—reflecting the 810/812's genuine historical significance and limited production run of just 3,000 units—current desirability is rated as low, indicating that demand has softened considerably relative to supply of available examples. This divergence between collectible status and real-world buyer interest is the critical tension underpinning current weakness.

The outlook remains pressured, with base-case projections forecasting a decline to $117,274 AUD by 2027—a further 28.6% downside—and $105,694 AUD by 2029, representing a cumulative loss of 35.6% from today's levels. These forecasts assume no material shift in collector appetite or market conditions over the medium term.

The combination of illiquidity, low current desirability, and downward price momentum argues for a wait-and-see posture or, for owners with limited conviction, a measured exit strategy while asking prices remain at historical levels. Prospective buyers should recognize that entry at present valuations may not offer protection against further compression as the segment stabilizes.
