My guess is you are interested in the one presently for sale on ebay. Complete with original dork disk and wheel reflectors. It looks to be in nice condition.

Yeah....but I thought they were black/silver. When did they make orange frames?

My pearlescent orange 912 is a 1981 and pretty much identical to the one in the auction. I don't think that color was available in 1982 catalog either.
