Market Find: 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 in Apricot Beige
Spoiler alert: this car is a respray. It was originally Grand Prix White over tan, meaning both the interior and exterior have experienced a color change. That said, it appears that no expense was likely spared in making it happen, while whomever did the work appears to have faithfully recreated the Porsche without taking liberties so as to make it look as if it could have been a period Paint to Sample.
Euro Market Find: Imperial Maroon Jaguar XK140 Roadster
If you've been seeking a vintage Jaguar Roadster, this one makes a compelling case for a number of reasons. No, it's not any sort of paint-to-sample special, but it is a rare period color that looks great and has all the makings of an incredible heritage story to share with friends.

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: Gulf Blue E36 M3 Coupé on Bring a Trailer
Though not an uncommon color by any stretch, we can't say we've ever seen Gulf Blue on a BMW before. Worth noting then, the car you see here isn't some über rare BMW Individual build but rather an extensive respray.
Market Find: Solar Orange 2023 Audi R8 V10 performance Spyder
Sometimes it's hard to get an accurate read on colors based on photos. This very handsome Audi R8 V10 performance Spyder is a great example. While its orange paint looks on the darker side of a primary orange... more like a Gulf Orange, the listing shows it as Glut orange that is lighter and closer to traditional Signal Orange.
Market Find: 2025 BMW Individual British Racing Green M3 Competition xDrive
Westchester, PA's Sky Motorcars is one of those interesting independent used car dealerships focusing on premium luxury cars, made even more interesting by their ability to consistently show cars in their inventory that are so low mileage as to be virtually new. Such is the case for this 2025 BMW M3 Competition xDrive sedan. It's got under 1,000 miles on it.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Verdant Green Pearl Effect A8 L
Will·
It sure seems to cluster, doesn't it? The Tailored staff finds one vehicle in a genuinely uncommon hue, and just a few days later, we find another. Call it frequency delusion if you will, but we're quite happy when a second of something pops up, even moreso when it happens to be a personal favorite.
