European Market Find: Restored 1980 BMW 323i in Biscay Blue
Though not as iconic as the 2002 that came before it, nor as loved by enthusiasts as the E30 that came after it, BMW's E21 3-Series still captures that classic 80s BMW style and makes for an excellent driver... particularly in top-of-the-heap 323i form. Alas, we didn't get the 323i in the States, which means you have to look in Europe for cars like this private party listed example from Haren, Germany.

If Tailored Driver is about anything at all, it's about the desire to be uncommon. By that metric, the initial owner of this 2017 Audi exclusive Toucan Yellow A4 can certainly be considered a kindred spirit.
Market Find: 2016 Porsche Paint to Sample Birch Green Cayman GT4

We've long been fans of the Cayman GT4, and equally fans of the more 'acidic' greens like Lotus's Krypton Green which was one of the less common colors applied to their Exige and Elise models. We're also suckers for detail and theme.
European Market Find: 2021 Aston Martin V12 Speedster at RM Sotheby’s Münich Sale
Whether or not you're in the income bracket that can choose to buy an Aston Martin with no top nor windshield, or have the means to enjoy it in whatever capacity one would, we still find cars like this "barchetta" style 2021 V12 Speedster to be fascinating. Aston Martin only built 88 examples of this open cockpit two-seater as tribute to the DBR1 that won the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, and they rarely come on the market. So, it's notable when this single family owned example with just 46 kilometers on the odometer hits the market, as this one will very soon from now as part of RM Sotheby's Münich sale.
Euro Market Find: Period Tuner 1977 Mercedes-Benz SL 280 in Cayenne Orange
While the third-generation Mercedes-Benz SL (C107) isn't hasn't proven as graceful at aging as the second-generation W113 Pagoda, it has come into its own as 80s cars begin to bask in the glow of Radwood and other Reagan era automotive celebration. Technically though, cars like this 1977 SL 280 pre-date the 80s/90s cut-off of an event like Radwood, but if you can talk your way through the entry line then we think you'd have a good chance at winning with a car like this example. Built by BB Tuning, Rainer Buchmann Frankfurt-based customization shop that built some of the wildest cars you might see, and with a heavy focus on Porsche and Mercedes-Benz.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Albert Blue 2024 911 Turbo S Cabriolet
We see a lot of blue Porsches, and we even see a lot of Paint to Sample Porsches, but we don’t see a lot of Albert Blue Porsches. We also don’t see a lot of non-metallic dark and almost navy blue colors, making it even more unique. Albert Blue is believed to have first dropped in 1970 on the F-type “long hood” 911s, and specifying it as was done here is a great nod to a lesser known hue from the Porsche history books.

Audi's B9 generation RS 5 is pretty tough to beat- good power, great size, and featuring a modernized interpretation of box flares. This Tailored Driver is finished in Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue (LZ5M) over Black leather with Rock Grey stitching, alu-optic exterior trim, and was optioned with the dynamic package which raises the speed limiter and adds Carbon Ceramic brakes.
