George·August 6, 2025

Straight out of the gate, it's not a BMW Individual color. So, is it a rare factory spec? Not exactly, but we're going to include it anyway. What we have here is an enthusiast built E61-era 5 Series Touring converted to M5 specification. Even better, the build looks primarily to factory specification.

European Market Find: 1993 Porsche 911 Speedster in Wimbledon Green

George·August 5, 2025

Wimbledon Green was a standard color in the 964 era. Even still, it was rare on the whole 964 much less on the limited production 911 Speedster. As a result, the car you see here is one of just seven produced worldwide in the hue.

Market Find: Riviera Blue 2021 Ruf CTR Anniversary on RM Block at Monterey

George·July 25, 2025

It may look like a vintage 911 build like so many others do in this top tier reimagining space, but the Ruf CTR is a whole other animal with its carbon monocoque chassis. Such an exotic chassis configuration makes it very exclusive. In fact, it's #25 of just 50 produced.

Euro Market Find: Goodwood Green B5 Audi RS 4 Avant in As-New Condition

George·July 24, 2025

With first registration in March 2001, the RS 4 Avant you see here is about a year away from eligibility for easy import into the United States. Even still, we’re guessing any serious RS 4 enthusiast seeking an exceptional specimen would want to get a head start. Certainly this under 50K mile impeccably kept example is worthy of such forewarning.
