European Market Finds
EU Market Find: 2000 BMW M Coupe in Dakar Yellow (1 of 5)
Is a Dakar Yellow “clown shoe” the perfect storm of 90s era BMWs? For certain the color was iconic on the E36 M3, and the shootingbrake style of the Z3 M Coupe (a.k.a. “clown shoe”) is an icon in its own right. Both have fierce fans, so add them together and what do you get?
Euro Market Find: Green-on-Green 1979 Saab 99 Turbo a Rare Sedan
Green over green is a unique thing, even if the Pistachio Green paint of this Saab 99 Turbo was a standard color.
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Messing Metallic over two-tone Olive leather 523i
Will·
It pleases me beyond belief to finally feature a Messing Metallic BMW as a Market Find here on Tailored Driver. And after such a personally painful wait, it's even more exciting that this Messing also features a two-tone BMW Individual interior with both Light Olive and Dark Olive leather, and a subtle yet tasteful Alpina chin spoiler.
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Violet Silver Metallic M3 Coupe
Will·
Allegedly a 1 of 1 and confirmed as such by BMW M per the seller, this Violet Silver Metallic M3 was paired with Light Blue partial leather and the timeless Style 24 wheels from factory. After being spec'd in a so tastefully '90s way, it was driven- a lot. More than 200,000 miles have been covered by this Tailored Driver in the past 21 years and we assume nearly all of them were enjoyable.
Market Find: 2019 Piper Tribute Porsche 935 Set for Broad Arrow Zurich Auction
One-of-77 Porsche 935 in bespoke Piper Green heads to Zurich with delivery mileage and motorsport pedigree.
EU Market Find: Porsche 911 GT3 in Racing Green Metallic
Will·
While opinions around our offices certainly vary when it comes to a re-spray, our feelings toward Porsche models wearing Racing Green Metallic- their take on Aston Martin's color bearing the same name- are completely aligned. Case in point is this 996.1 GT3, found at Best Motoring in France.
European Market Find: 1993 Porsche 911 Speedster in Wimbledon Green
Wimbledon Green was a standard color in the 964 era. Even still, it was rare on the whole 964 much less on the limited production 911 Speedster. As a result, the car you see here is one of just seven produced worldwide in the hue.
Market Find: ex-Jeff Zwart 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo Pikes Peak
Will·
While not Tailored in a traditional sense- at least as far as our normal content is concerned- this 1996 911 Turbo certainly was built with a very specific purpose in mind. If you were a subscriber to any of the major US-based Auto mags in the 90s, this car needs no introduction.
Market Find: BMW Individual Fiji Green 320i Convertible
Will·
The 90s, man. Fiji Green over a slightly more traditional green leather interior is a bold choice now, but back then it seemed like a great choice. What we can all (maybe?) agree on is that this E36 has aged incredibly well, and that it's sub-€10k asking price is seemingly reasonable.
EU Market Find: Audi exclusive Java Green A4 Avant
Will·
There is a direct line from Audi's B5-generation products to the automotive enthusiasm at the Tailored Driver offices. With the full staff having deeply special personal experiences in a B5, it's always a special moment when one of these pops up fitting the Tailored Driver mold.
