Many years ago, very early 80s, my parts supplier, The Roadaster Store, knew
someone with a mint 212 which the guy bought at an Englishtown Swap (NJ)
meet for which he paid about $1,000 from the original owner's family. All
the receipts came with the car including one for a complete engine rebuild
for about $100 and every part he put into the car.
I took a ride in the back seat and it was quite interesting. The PO kept
excellent care of the car and it looked brand new. I heard he sold it to
Nissan for an undisclosed sum which was purported to be about $10,000.
It was orange with white coves.
