“The 1938 Horch 855 Spezial Roadster was a shorter version of the Horch 853, featuring similar coachwork. Only three are believed to have been made in addition to seven more 855 Gläser Spezial Roadsters that featured different bodywork. One example is currently being exhibited at the Audi factory museum, on loan from its U.S. owner for a period of 20 years in exchange for Audi's complete restoration of the car. Stateside examples of the 855 have appeared at the Pebble Beach Concours, and its sibling, a Horch 853, recently took Best in Show at Greenwich Concours.”

@bob-jackman don’t believe it is, picked it from the Wayne Moyer collection.

@bob-jackman I checked hobby db and see 7 variants but none in black. 🤔
wondering if this isn’t ref number 436014203 not shown/skipped in the list of 7 variants, maybe there are 8.

This is the first version, No. 436 014200, issued in the 2005-2006 time frame.
