- Shown at the 2013 and 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and 2016 The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering
- Winner of the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Alec Ulmann Trophy for its elegant Vanvooren Cabriolet coachwork
- One of approximately 120 Hispano Suiza J12s built between 1931 and 1938

- Used during Empain's travels between Europe to Africa and imported to the U.S. following World War II
- Restored and formerly owned by The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie
- A near-mythical “masterpiece of order and simplicity” that begs for a triumphant return from the ashes
- Offered without reserve, following fire damage in 2024
