If you were going to pick the ultimate company to reimagine Subaru's first-generation Impreza Coupe (type GM), then we suspect Prodrive would be the likely choice.
Market Find: 2024 BMW Individual M4 Competition in Sepia Brown II
We're solid fans of "tone-on-tone" cars, where the exterior and the interior are coordinated as the same color, perhaps off by a degree of shade.

EU Market Find: 2000 Evergreen “Clownshoe”
This particular BMW M Coupé isn't low mileage, though not hatefully high. It's not a one-off BMW Individual paint, though it is fairly rare. At the time, BMW offered Evergreen with dual-tone black and green interior. That was the late 1990s / early 2000s when such combinations were kitsch cool for those in the know. The take rate wasn't high, which made them rare. And Evergreen, we'd argue, should be due to have its day again given the uptick in pastel colors we've been seeing in paint to sample catalogues.
Market Find: 1986 White on White Ferrari Testarossa
Popping up in RM Sotheby’s Private Party sales is this very desirable 1986 Ferrari Testarossa. Granted, it’s a factory order book specification car, so why is it desirable? We’d point to two reasons.
Market Find: 2022 Audi exclusive Shiraz Red RS 6 Avant

EU Market Find: VW T3 Multivan “Limited Last Edition” Oettinger WBX6
Known as the "Vanagon" in the United States, the Volkswagen T3 may be the 964 or 993 of the VW van lineage. While note quite as elegant as earlier T1 and T2 versions (a.k.a. Microbus), the more modern boxy shape retains the same rear-engine configuration that put Volkswagen (and Porsche) on the map. Also, its production run from 1979 to 1992 (practically the same as the Mk1 Golf/Rabbit Cabriolet) makes it a darling of the budding "rad era" car collector segment, while it was also a staple in the early #vanlife movement. All this combines to make for a robust collector market for T3s, meaning rare and special examples have realized appreciable gains. Throw in a special edition breathed on by a relevant remaster like a period German tuning house and you definitely have our attention.
Market Find: Singer Dynamics and Lightweighting Study at Graham Rahal Performance
The DLS formula for Singer reimaginings is a remarkable thing. Launched in 2018, it created perhaps the ultimate specification for a classic 911, complete with all-carbon bodywork and 500 horsepower 4.0-liter flat six developed by Williams Advanced Engineering.
