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.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Cassis Pearl Effect RS 6 avant
Will·
Audi exclusive's Cassis Pearl Effect is not a color seen often, but its rarity is not a result of its impact. A vibrant dark burgundy with ample metallic flake, we feel it's more an issue of messaging and awareness than simply being a dud.
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Violet Silver Metallic M3 Coupe
Will·
Allegedly a 1 of 1 and confirmed as such by BMW M per the seller, this Violet Silver Metallic M3 was paired with Light Blue partial leather and the timeless Style 24 wheels from factory. After being spec'd in a so tastefully '90s way, it was driven- a lot. More than 200,000 miles have been covered by this Tailored Driver in the past 21 years and we assume nearly all of them were enjoyable.
Market Find: 2023 Porsche Paint to Sample Gulf Orange 718 Cayman GT4 RS
Will·
At this point, there are likely just as many Paint to Sample optioned 718 Cayman GT4 RS examples on the market as standard-painted versions. So what makes this Gulf Orange example 'special'? Well, for starters, it just may be an encouraging signal to those similarly afflicted that the bubble is starting to deflate.
Market Find: CPO PTS Porsche 718 Spyder RS at Porsche Jacksonville
The 718 Spyder you see here is a fascinating thing. On one hand, it's an always impressive GT4 RS. On the other, it features so many nods to Porsche heritage that we suspect viewers may find it polarizing. In as much, we're going to also drop it into our "Acquired Taste" category.
