European Market Finds
Market Find: BMW 530dA Touring Individual in Dakar Yellow
Every so often, a listing surfaces that stops enthusiasts mid-scroll—not because it’s the fastest or rarest, but because it’s simply too unusual to ignore.
Market Find: The Last Manual Ferrari — 2012 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
A rare opportunity has surfaced for Ferrari purists: RM Sotheby’s is offering a 2012 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano equipped with a six-speed gated manual gearbox — the final Ferrari road car ever produced with a factory-installed manual transmission.
Market Find: BMW Individual Velvet Blue Metallic 323ti
Will·
Ran when parked is always a scary thing- especially when the subject is thousands of miles away- but for this Tailored Driver we can easily see someone choosing to ignore a red flag. Finished in BMW Individual Velvet Blue Metallic and paired with BMW Individual "Maisgelb" leather, this E36 compact is one hell of a blank canvas.
EU Market Find: 1993 BMW 318i Cabriolet Design Edition
An effective and affordable way to get your hands on some rare or unobtainium specification driver while keeping the budget affordable is by watching the European market.
Market Find: 1994 Porsche 968 Turbo S
For Porsche collectors who think they’ve seen it all, the 1994 Porsche 968 Turbo S represents a pinnacle of rarity and factory-built performance.
Euro Find: Audi exclusive C5 S6 Avant in ? Green
We hate it when we can't identify a color, but that's where we are on this C5-generation Audi S6 Avant. The color is a green metallic that doesn't appear to match anything we're familiar with in the Audi lineup.
Market Find: 1997 BMW M3 Sedan SMG in Techno Violet
Say you're looking for a well-kept E36-era BMW M3 sedan and you don't enjoy driving manual, or maybe it just doesn't matter and you want to purchase the most car for your money.
EU Market Find: 1998 BMW Individual 528i (E39) in Maledives Blue Metallic
BMW Individual wasn't exactly widely utilized in the late 1990s. Sure, M-cars of that period with special paint aren't all that rare, but being found on other more "normal" cars like a 528i sedan is less likely.
1999 Lotus Elise S John Player Heritage Special Edition
Though it was never sold in the USA, the earliest Lotus Elise S1 is now available for import, as are special editions like this Heritage (a.k.a. 79 edition) that plays heavily on the black and gold of the John Player Special livery worn by Lotus F1 in 1978 when they won the driver and constructors championships.
EU Market Find: 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S in Aventurine Green over Green
Aventurine Green was a standard color for the 993-generation Porsche 911 in 1996. Left on that alone, this car would be cool in desirable widebody Carrera 4S specification, but it wouldn't qualify as tailored. However, it's once you open the door that you realize how special this car is.
