Individuality with Designo: Mercedes-Benz Classic Reflects on Tailored History at Stuttgart Museum

Tailored Driver·
“Close-up” – the name of this series from the Mercedes-Benz Museum says it all. Each instalment tells a surprising, exciting or behind-the-scenes story, illuminating details of a vehicle, an exhibit or an architectural or design feature. In the spotlight this time: the Mercedes-Benz C 280 from 1996 in Collection Room 5: Gallery of Everyday Heroes.

Market Find: Ipanema Brown RS 6 Avant at Audi Naples

George·
Here's an interesting turn of events. We're always interested in dealerships apparently selling a new tailored build apparently without any dealer markup as this appears to be. We're even more fans of salespeople inside the store who are motivated to snap initial photography and get the word out to enthusiasts online. Such is the case with this 2025 RS 6 performance in Audi exclusive Ipanema Brown over Cognac Brown Leather.

Generally speaking, life is cyclical and the world of Tailored Driver is no different. Like seasons, Tailored colors on the secondhand market seem to cluster and we’ll spot incredibly rare or interesting specs in twos and threes. Case in point is this Tailored Driver, a 2023 R8 V0 spyder in Audi exclusive Suzuka Grey Pearl Effect paired with exclusive Ocean Blue extended leather.

EU Market Find: Last Customer Delivered Countach in Mystery Purple

George·
Okay, we may be bending our own rules with so many repainted cars lately. The reality though, in the rare air of classics priced at these levels, is that previous owners can and do end up restoring and sometimes refinishing these cars. At this level, we expect most resprays to be as good or better than the factory, and when it’s a shift to an interesting color we’re more likely to give it a pass. Take for example this Countach 25th Anniversary.

Market Find: 2019 Audi exclusive Solar Orange RS 5 Coupe

Will·
How quickly we find our way back to Orange. Audi exclusive Solar Orange was chosen for this RS 5, with the added bonus of Audi exclusive deviated stitching in a matching Signal Orange found in the interior. In no doubt aided by the bold choice in color, this mega-sticker Tailored Driver is currently on offer at a Stellantis dealer for the seemingly low asking price of $45,991. If we had to guess, we’d say that’s likely half off its original asking price.

Market Find: 2019 VW Golf R Spektrum in Irish Green (Round 2)

George·
We've said it before (literally) and we'll say it again. Irish Green is one of the best colors you could have gotten on Volkswagen's 2019 run of Golf R Spektrum cars painted very special colors. Yes, we've seen this car before. It transacted on Bring a Trailer late last year, and it looks like it ended up in the inventory of Wyomissing, PA dealer Bay 22.
