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.
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.
