Market Find: 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring 6-speed in PTS Fjord Green on BaT
Say you don't want to play the game - buy the watches, the sacrificial Taycan or wrestle for a PTS allotment that'll take for what feels like forever.

That in mind, may we present this paint-to-sample Fjord Green 911 GT3 Touring with manual transmission and an interior of Exclusive Manufaktur leather in light grey.
Market Find: Audi exclusive Samoa Orange RS 6 avant
Will·
If there was ever a car that fit the Tailored Driver ethos, this is quite possibly it. George and I had met previously, but really bonded over driving then-new Samoa Orange Audi models- his a TT competition, mine the boss's S5 - and attending just about every VW Group event in the Mid-Atlantic.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche 911 S/T in Shade Green Metallic
Shade Green Metallic is a standard color for Porsche 911 S/T, though we'd argue that even the most basic paint on such a highly exclusive car shouldn't disqualify our posting it on here.
Market Find: Paint to Sample Maritime Blue 2011 Porsche 911 at Ryan Friedman Motorcars
From our perspective, Paint to Sample examples of cars like this 997.2-era Porsche 911 are some of the hardest to find. Paint to Sample services being chosen for a car wasn't nearly as common in this era, making them so much rarer and hard to find than modern Porsche models.
Market Find: Audi RS 5 Sportback in Solar Orange
Also known as Glut Orange, Solar Orange is a long-running Audi exclusive mainstay that captures the primary orange vibe.
Market Find: One of One Audi exclusive Bordeaux Violet B5 RS 4 Avant
While we find any tailored car to be special, cars in the rarest of colors built in eras where rare specifications weren't that prevalent grab us a little extra hard. Now, make it a car like and enthusiast legend like the B5 RS 4 with its Cosworth-tuned-from-the-factory 2.7-liter biturbo and wagon configuration and we're even more enthused.
Market Find: BMW Individual Wildberry Metallic M3 Competition
Will·
In our minds, BMW Individual's Wildberry Metallic is just about as good as it gets. Not too serious, yet absolutely sinister, it's a juxtaposition that works incredibly well on M cars across the Tailored spectrum.
Market Find: E46 M3 Touring on Cars and Bids
Unlike Porsche, BMW doesn't have a Sonderwunsch department. However, looking over this highly OEM-looking E46 M3 Touring build on Cars and Bids, we're wondering if they aren't missing an opportunity. Yes, of course BMW now builds an M3 Touring even though we can't get it here, but we're thinking more of reimagined cars like Sonderwunsch's 993 Speedsters.
Market Find: BMW Individual Maritime Blue i4 M50 Gran Coupe
Will·
Regardless of where your allegiance lies when it comes to mobility- electric, combustion, hybrid, or maybe a little of all the above- we think this Tailored Driver shows that with the right options anything can be exciting. BMW's version of Maritime Blue is used brilliantly to spice up this i4 M50 Gran Coupe, and it's currently for sale on Cars and Bids.
Euro Market Find: Violet Blue Metallic over Tartan Porsche 968 Cabriolet
It’s a funny thing about bold factory specifications. They can go full Buffalo Girl and go ’round the outside, coming back into solid ironic cool status. On the surface, we don’t know many Porschephiles who place the 968 Cabriolet on their short list of cars to own. Same goes for Viola Metallic – a medium metallic purple in a world where purple can be polarizing.
