Adriatic Blue Ruf CTR2 993 Headed for Gooding Amelia Island Sale

George·February 18, 2025

Ruf placed itself decidedly on the performance car map in 1987 when its twin-turbocharged CTR dubbed "Yellowbird" showed up and dominated Road & Track's Top Speed Shootout, besting the likes of the Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 959. Then, in 1995, it launched a credible successor to the Yellowbird when it debuted the 993-based CTR2.

Blue Turquoise over Blue Porsche 911 / 993 Carrera S in Gooding Amelia Island Sale

George·February 17, 2025

Though striking, Blue Turquoise was a standard color during the 993-era 911. Nevertheless, it was relatively rare and even more rare when you consider details like Midnight Blue interior and color-matched wheels. That's the case on this rest of world (ROW) example of a Porsche 911 Carrera S ordered by Mizwa, Porsche's Japanese distributor.

BMW Individual Aubergine on Purple E39 540i Appears on Marketplace

George·February 14, 2025

We’re fond of tone on tone cars, wearing the same color on the inside as they do on the outside. White on white was popular in the 80s, blue on blue isn’t that uncommon, F40s were red on red, and green on green happens. Purple on purple though, that’s almost never seen… and yet here one is in the form of a 1997 BMW 540i that is purple inside and out.

Market Find: Audi exclusive Racing Blue Mica RS 5 sportback

Will·February 14, 2025

Audi exclusive Racing Blue Mica is one of the more rare hues on the Tailored Driver spectrum, likely due to its similarity to several other hues- most notably Navarra Blue, which was an optional factory color for that year. Perhaps not wanting to pay the cost for such subtlety, prospective Tailors have missed out as Racing is both a deep and vibrant blue, reminiscent of BMW's San Marino Blue.

Special Order Lapis Blue 1999 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG in Gooding Amelia Island Sale

George·February 13, 2025

During the era Mercedes-Benz was producing its first-generation W202 C-Class, special paint colors were less common than the more apparent MANUFAKTUR presence today. Bold colors like the Lapis Blue shade shown here were even less common, except perhaps in Europe where home market offerings were a bit more fanciful.
