European Market Finds
European Market Find: 1981 BMW E23 735i Touring by Euler in Cypress Green
Though it appears to be painted the standard 1981 E23 7-Series color of Cypress Green Metallic, this well-kept early 7er is anything but ordinary. You see, BMW never built a station wagon version of the E23 7er, but a small firm called Euler did and now one of these rare cars has hit the market.
European Market Find: Restored 1980 BMW 323i in Biscay Blue
Though not as iconic as the 2002 that came before it, nor as loved by enthusiasts as the E30 that came after it, BMW's E21 3-Series still captures that classic 80s BMW style and makes for an excellent driver... particularly in top-of-the-heap 323i form. Alas, we didn't get the 323i in the States, which means you have to look in Europe for cars like this private party listed example from Haren, Germany.
Euro Market Find: Period Tuner 1977 Mercedes-Benz SL 280 in Cayenne Orange
While the third-generation Mercedes-Benz SL (C107) isn't hasn't proven as graceful at aging as the second-generation W113 Pagoda, it has come into its own as 80s cars begin to bask in the glow of Radwood and other Reagan era automotive celebration. Technically though, cars like this 1977 SL 280 pre-date the 80s/90s cut-off of an event like Radwood, but if you can talk your way through the entry line then we think you'd have a good chance at winning with a car like this example. Built by BB Tuning, Rainer Buchmann Frankfurt-based customization shop that built some of the wildest cars you might see, and with a heavy focus on Porsche and Mercedes-Benz.
