European Market Finds
EU Market Find: 1992 Porsche Paint to Sample Violet Amaranth 968 Cabriolet
Will·
The prospect of an "internal" car is always an interesting one. Generally ordered by a executive, a board member, or simply a department looking to get a reaction, a given brand rarely orders a vehicle without some larger purpose.
EU Market Find: Great Spec Manual Mercedes C124 E 300 Coupe
Log this car in as under the tasteful and rare factory specifications column, and maybe something you only would find in a market like Italy. Yes, it appears to be an order guide specification, but its combination an exercise in extravagance more akin to a passionate Italian than a logical German.
EU Market Find: Viola Ophelia Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4
When we feature cars from Europe or other markets, we tend to limit them to cars that are of an age that is easily importable. From Europe to the U.S., that’s 25 years and so a car first sold in 2027 like this Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4 doesn’t qualify.
EU Market Find: Speed Yellow Porsche 968 Clubsport
There are fewer and fewer deals to be had in the Porsche world, particularly amongst rare models, performance models or in rare colors. That's why the never-sold-new-in-America 968 Clubsport is a favorite of ours.
EU Market Find: Great Spec B5 Audi A4 Avant in Laurel Green
It's cars like this that make our staff come to blows. Why? Perhaps a better question is why not?
EU Market Find: 1 of 1 BMW Individual 316ti Compact in Fiji Green
This color combination isn't for everybody, but we suspect anyone who fully embraces automotive trends of the 1990s, particularly the quirkier German side of those trends, then we think you'll love this car.
EU Market Find: Prugnia Metallic Ferrari 412
If you're into quirky Ferraris, they don't get much more quirky than Ferrari's 412 grand touring coupe. Now throw in full leather light beige interior, an automatic gearbox and purple metallic paint and you have a seriously unique build.
EU Market Find: 1992 Porsche Turbo-Look 911 C2 Cabriolet with Leather to Sample
Will·
We're big fans of the road less traveled here, that's not exactly a secret. This Tailored Driver is exactly that- finished in Porsche's Midnight Blue Metallic (rare), with 1992's 911 C2 Cab Rest-of-World only Turbo Look body optioned (more rare) Leather to Sample in an unknown light blue (incredibly rare).
EU Market Find: Lancia Delta Integrale Evo II Bianco Perlato
The Delta Integrale holds a special place in the hearts of auto enthusiasts as a rally homologation special. By mainstream measure, a 5-door hatchback is not the expected stuff of legends, but consider the hardware and engineering that goes into making such an economy car into a rally legend with six-consecutive WRC championships from 1987-1992 and the logic begins to make sense. Also… box flares.
EU Market Find: 1996 BMW Individual Madeira Violet Metallic 320i Convertible
Will·
Differing ever so slightly from BMW's Techno Violet, BMW Individual Madeira Violet Metallic is a visually stunning purple that can really play visual tricks depending on conditions. In some lighting, it almost appears to be BMW's Cosmos Black due to the color's blue and purple metallic flake.
