Le 19 avril 1937, cette Horch 853 Sport Cabriolet arrivait en Norvège chez l'importateur Mercedes, Bertel Otto Steen, pour être livrée le 13 mai suivant à Aksel Holm, consul d'Allemagne basé dans la ville d'Ålesund, sur la côte au nord d'Oslo.
La transaction s'effectuait pour la somme de 18 000 couronnes norvégiennes, somme très élevée pour l'époque : c'est de loin la voiture la plus chère mentionnée sur la page du registre de vente de Bertel Otto Steen dont nous disposons, plusieurs voitures américaines de luxe (Packard, Franklin, Lasalle ou Buick) apparaissant pour des sommes de 8 à 13 000 couronnes.
