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.

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.

I have a Miyata Professionnel from the mid-late '70's in a very similar color, as well. It looks great around sunset.
