Market Find: Volkswagen Spektrum Squirrel Grey Golf R
Will·
In more ways than one, this Tailored Driver is what we'd call a sleeper. Volkswagen Spektrum Squirrel Grey, while certainly cool, doesn't exactly glow in the dark. Take a second look, and the only evidence that something might be up are the Stoptech calipers lurking being the front wheels, and an ever-so-slightly lower ride height than factory.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Dark Red Mica S7
Will·
While genuinely uncommon in the 'real' world, Audi exclusive Dark Red Mica has been somewhat of a frequent flyer in ours. Perhaps that's due to the color's understated nature while still distinctly standing out.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Iris Blue Metallic 911 Carrera 4S
Will·
If heritage is the aim, this Tailored Driver delivers. Finished in Porsche's Paint to Sample Iris Blue Metallic paired with Fuchs-style wheels and extended leather, one could certainly make a safe assumption in this 997.2 being inspired by an SC model.
Market Find: Rare Shade 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole
Ferrari’s 308 GTS Quattrovalvole stands as a sublime blend of classic styling and technical advancement. Designed by Pininfarina, its timeless targa-top form recalls the golden era of Italian sports cars. Introduced in the early 1980s, the Quattrovalvole (or “four-valve”) engine marked a notable evolution from earlier models.
Market Find: 2022 BMW Individual M5 CS in Frozen Deep Green Metallic
Every so often, a car surfaces that blends brutal performance with a level of exclusivity normally reserved for the very few.
Canadian Market Find: 2018 Volkswagen Golf R in Magma Orange
We're always fond of Volkswagen Golf R Spektrums. Highly unique, they're a great entry point into the tailored driver world. For Spektrum watchers, we particularly love watching the Canadian market where more than their usual share were sold and well-kept examples can be had should you be willing to jump through the few hoops it takes to import one. Among those cars, we believe Magma Orange may be one of the rarer examples and we've confirmed with a Spektrum expert that is the color on the car you see here.
Market Find: Smoke Topaz Metallic 2020 BMW Individual M4 Competition
Purists **could** criticize this well-kept 2020 BMW M4 Competition for being automatic.
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.
Market Find: Curious Spec Red-over-Brown R8 Spyder on Bring a Trailer
Some cars hit every note perfectly. Others take a bolder swing. This 2011 Audi R8 Spyder does both. Finished in Brilliant Red over a two-tone Saddle Brown and Cognac interior, it’s a combination that will strike some as daring and others as mismatched. Either way, it stands out.
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.
