European Market Finds
EU Market Find: “Monte Carlo Worthy” Bahama Gold Range Rover Classic 3-Door
"Monte Carlo Worthy" is maybe the best way ever to describe a pristine vintage luxury car, and that's precisely how Gallery Aaldering leads in explaining the Bahama Gold example you see here. Why? Well, for starters it spent its last ten years residing in Monte Carlo.
EU Market Find: 1985 Ferrari Testarossa “Targa”
This very unique Ferrari Testarossa is 1 of 1, converted to Targa specification by Ernst Berg Systems (EBS) in 1985. It's also the only left man drive Testarossa in yellow for a 1985 European spec with the "flying mirror".
EU Market Find: 1975 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 in Blu Azorro Metallizzato
This rare colored Dino 308 GT4 was owned by the same family for over three decades until it was sold to the current owner in 2020. The car has been repainted in its original color, Blu Azorro Metallizzato, the same color as used in the brochure (see photo).
EU Market Find: Rare Spec 1994 BMW 850 CSi MT6 in the Netherlands
Though Laguna Green Metallic was a standard color (in Europe at least) on the E31 BMW 8-Series, we’re going to give this car a pass because it’s decently rare and also because it’s an excellent spec.

Market Find: TAG Turbo “AP87” in Mint Green as Broad Arrow Private Sale
One of the more fascinating and certainly the more storied in the Porsche 911 remastering game must certainly be Lanzante and their Porsche 911 TAG Turbos. After acquiring a bulk of former TAG Turbo F1 racing engines developed by Porsche for McLaren, the firm set about building a series of only eleven Porsche 911 Turbos fitted with them. In doing so, they created the ultimate tribute inspired by the one-off Porsche TAG Turbo test car built by Porsche's own R&D department.
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Santorini Blue 316ti

Tailored Driver strives to be of the people and by the people. So while it'd be really easy to just post blank-check Porsche GT variants all day long, we'd rather dig in the proverbial crates for stuff you can actually attain. The latest example of that is this E36 316ti, finished in Santorini Blue and currently on offer for a scant €2,100.
EU Market Find: Volkswagen Mk1 Cabriolet Toscana in Rare Copper Metallic
For the most part, Volkswagen doesn't have an in-house tailor, but this German economy brand is rife with special editions, ranging from sticker pack mediocre to truly special. We'd weight the Golf Cabriolet Toscana special edition more on the truly special side of that spectrum.
EU Market Find: Rare Green-on-Green 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa
While the Porsche 911 964 generation was definitely sold in the United States, the last of the primarily hand built and upright headlight air-cooled 911s has become a rare and valuable commodity thanks to the likes of Singer and RWB conversions. Given that, seeking out cars in Europe can not only net more selection, it can also pay a bonus with rare specifications most American buyers weren't likely to order. We think this green-on-green 1991 911 Carrera 2 Targa qualifies.
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic 520i Touring
Will·
While it's easier to attain a Tailored Driver if your wallet is thick enough to require chiropractic intervention, we think it's more fun when Tailored status is within reach of the everyman or woman. At €3,500 (about $3700 USD, plus shipping) this E39-generation 520i Touring painted in BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic and paired with the frankly wild Boa Boa cloth interior and a timeless 5 speed manual transmission is exactly that- fun.
