European Market Finds
Euro Market Find: Goodwood Green B5 Audi RS 4 Avant in As-New Condition
With first registration in March 2001, the RS 4 Avant you see here is about a year away from eligibility for easy import into the United States. Even still, we’re guessing any serious RS 4 enthusiast seeking an exceptional specimen would want to get a head start. Certainly this under 50K mile impeccably kept example is worthy of such forewarning.
Euro Market Find: Porsche 968 in Oak Green Metallic
Transaxle Porsches like the 968 are an interesting niche of the Porsche collector market. They simply don't pull the prices that air-cooled cars do, yet they are excellent cars nonetheless.
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Atlanta Blue Metallic 323ti
Will·
Call us weird, but we love a good E36 compact- and this Tailored Driver is exactly that. Powered by the larger displacement inline six, and wearing Atlanta Blue Metallic paint paired boldly with two-tone Black and Yellow leather, there's likely not another compact in this configuration.
Market Find: One of One Audi exclusive Bordeaux Violet B5 RS 4 Avant
While we find any tailored car to be special, cars in the rarest of colors built in eras where rare specifications weren't that prevalent grab us a little extra hard. Now, make it a car like and enthusiast legend like the B5 RS 4 with its Cosworth-tuned-from-the-factory 2.7-liter biturbo and wagon configuration and we're even more enthused.
Euro Market Find: Violet Blue Metallic over Tartan Porsche 968 Cabriolet
It’s a funny thing about bold factory specifications. They can go full Buffalo Girl and go ’round the outside, coming back into solid ironic cool status. On the surface, we don’t know many Porschephiles who place the 968 Cabriolet on their short list of cars to own. Same goes for Viola Metallic – a medium metallic purple in a world where purple can be polarizing.
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Dakar Yellow M5
Will·
One of a claimed 11 produced over the span of production, and one of 4 said to be in Europe, this E39 M5 represents peak BMW in more ways than one. Tailored brilliantly in Dakar Yellow 2 paired with the incredibly cool M Texture cloth and without a sunroof, it’s an emphatic book-end to what some traditionalists call the golden era of BMW.
Market Find: 2017 Range Rover Custom by Chieftain in RM Sotheby’s Cliveden House Sale
Fancy yourself a modernized Range Rover Classic? Then the car you see here may be the perfect answer. Yes, we all know they didn’t build Range Rover Classics in 2017, but this one’s been built on a Discovery 3 chassis.
Euro Market Find: Jazz Blue Volkswagen Bora VR6 4Motion Wagon
Does a perfect spec qualify as tailored? We can debate the issue, but I tend to land on the side of yes, assuming the desirability of a car finely and perfectly specified from a robust factory order book represents a different sort of tailoring. It's the sort of thing that goes with budget cars, from companies that don't typically offer tailoring services. Nevertheless, cars like this are special and it's with that in mind that we present to you this Y2K Volkswagen Bora.
Market Find: BMW Individual E36 M3 Coupe in Daytona Violet
If an E36 BMW M3 Coupe isn't on your bucket list of 1990s cars then we need to have an intervention. If you already like E36 M3s then read ahead with interest. If you're not, well, be prepared to be won over.
Euro Market Find: 1 of 1 1996 Mini Cooper S
This car's a bit of a puzzle. It's an "ur" Mini. "Ur" means "original" in German, which is how Germans designate the original Audi quattro from every other Audi with quattro. Given this Mini is in Germany, not far from Frankfurt, the German descriptor sort of works.
