European Market Find: 1994 BMW Individual Violet Blue 318is Coupé in Switzerland
However special or deep the options list may have been for European market BMW buyers in the 1990s, cars remained expensive to own and operate. Seeing an exceedingly well appointed and appreciable specification with a small displacement engine wasn’t uncommon, which is how you end up with such a special build on what would otherwise be a more mundane BMW model.
European Market Find: Rubystone Red Porsche 968, Low Mileage / High Price
The Porsche 968 is (or rather was) one of the last good deals in the Porsche market. It's also arguably one of the best Porsches of the transaxle era. And while the European market only Clubsport or the super rare Turbo are the big money versions, super low mileage, great spec and incredible condition can approach 911 money.
Market Find: 1988 Porsche 959 SC Reimagined by Canepa in Broad Arrow Private Sale
There's remastered, and then there's a Porsche 959 SC reimagined by Canepa. The Group B homologated Porsche 959 is already the most forbidden of fruit and the most exotic of the exotic from the so-called "Rad" era. Now throw in a tailored rebuild that Bruce Canepa's Northern California firm has been building over recent years and you have the makings of a perfect thing. And, did we mention Irish Green over Tobacco brown leather?

Market Find: Special Wishes Pearlescent White Porsche 911 / 964 Turbo Headed to Broad Arrow Auction at The Amelia
Hit up sites like Porsche Club North America's Rennbow paint resource and you'll see Pearl White Metallic was a color that began in the 1980s on cars like the 928 and 944, though Broad Arrow also shares in this car's Lot description an even more exotic Porsche history for this metallic shade of white. You see, it was also sprayed onto more spotlighted debuts such as the 956 sports racing prototype, the 959 "Gruppe B" concept that previewed the 959, the 911 Speedster Studie, and even the 924 Carrera prototype, all in this distinctive paint. Not surprisingly given the popular use by Porsche at auto shows, Pearl White Metallic was most definitely available in the brand's Paint to Sample program.
European Market Find: Mystery Blue 1999 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG Avantgarde Wagon
Hear us out. Yes, we know the E 55 AMG Station Wagon was sold in the United States. They're exceedingly rare, especially in solid survivor condition, but they were sold here. Still, anyone who loves these cars or is seeking a unique long roof may find this one worth going through the extra effort of importation. That it's old enough for easy import is one obvious reason, but more so is the unique build specification this car got from the factory. This sort of specification would have been extremely difficult if not impossible for anyone in North America to order, so it's worth noting... even if it does have a dash of turn-of-the-century Y2K kitsch in the color choices.
