Market Find: 2014 Audi exclusive Velvet Purple Pearl Effect RS 7
Will·
Not to be confused with the more prevalent and very similar Audi exclusive Merlin Purple Metallic, this Tailored Driver is finished in the slightly darker, more subdued Audi exclusive Velvet Purple Pearl, giving it a cool factor that goes beyond the fact that it happens to be applied to an RS 7.
Market Find: Grinch-Colored Porsche 911 Targa 4S Just in Time for Holidays
Okay, here's the deal. We don't always love them all, but we also recognize that polarizing specifications are often a matter of taste... or maybe acquired taste. So while we're greatly entertained by Instagram accounts like @worstspec on Instagram, we're not going to go so far as to jeer something outright.
Market Find: Berry Pearl Audi RS 6 performance
If you're into wagons in a very different colors that will command a ton of attention, skip the line for Audi exclusive and head to Kearns Motor Cars in Wisconsin for this MY2024 Audi RS 6 Avant performance. Painted Berry Pearl Effect, it's a very noticeable deep pink in the vein of a Porsche Ruby Star, but pearlescent so appearing at a depth that Ruby Star just doesn't do.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Smyrna Green 718 Spyder RS
Will·
We're seeing quite the resurgence in Porsche's Paint to Sample Smyrna Green, and to be honest, we don't hate it. In this instance, we can clearly see the lineage between the 356 that Porsche first applied Smyrna to, and the 718 Spyder RS, and we've never been shy about loving a tribute.
European Market Find: 2000 BMW Individual Carbon Black Metallic 328i Sedan with Individual Arizona Sky Leather
Will·
Yes, in just a few days we'll be 25-year survivors of the Y2K panic. And while our computers didn't all self-destruct when asked to display '00' in a date window, the cars coming out of German and Japan were equally exciting- just in a much more controlled, less stressful way.
Market Find: 2006 Porsche Paint to Sample Riviera Blue 911 Carrera C4S Cabriolet
Will·
It may not get the love that its air-cooled ancestors receive, but the 997-generation 911 gets plenty of admiration due to it's ideal size, relatively modern tech (current, should you get PCCM), and end-of-an-era dynamics that are defining characteristics of early 2000s metal.
Market Find: Singer “UK 1” Porsche 911 Classic Study in RM Private Sale Listing
The cue for a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer is measured in years, so for those seeking to own one and not hung up on creating their own commission, purchasing one off the pre-owned market is the most likely play. Granted, they don’t come up often, and when they do we tend to expect them in prestigious places like an RM Sotheby’s private listing.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Aubergine 911 Carrera S
Will·
Paint to Sample offers an incredibly wide array of colors, yet somehow we really only ever see the same 15-20. So when a great vintage-inspired build like the one represented by this Tailored Driver shows up in our searches, it provides perhaps a bit more excitement than we’d care to admit.
Market Find: 2004 BMW Individual Estoril Blue Metallic M3 Coupe
Will·
While not offered on the E46 generation M3, BMW Individual Estoril Blue was such a hit on other M cars of the day that more than a few Tailors opted to tick the box. It is much less common though, that those same Tailors continued down the path of Individual in selecting an off-menu interior as we see here.
Market Find: 2010 Audi exclusive Solar Orange S4 Sedan
Will·
Incredibly rare early Audi exclusive build in Solar Orange with impossibly uncommon Tuscan Brown two-tone seats, low miles and a 6 speed manual transmission... what's not to love? Found on Cars and Bids, this Tailored Driver represents an easy (and maybe cheap!) way of getting into something unique while not suffering the parts availability issues that come with proper rarity.
