Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Aetna Blue 718 Cayman GT4 RS
Will·
A true classic that made it’s debut on Porsche’s 356, Aetna Blue (or Etna Blue) is equal parts pastel and vibrant. Decidedly darker than Gulf Blue, Etna gives Tailors the opportunity to achieve a result that stands out in a tasteful way while still inspiring conversation.
Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive Balloon White Pearl RS 7 sportback

We've always loved the 'LEGO' nature of Volkswagen Group vehicles, which has allowed for some wildly inventive and impactful OEM+ upgrades on platform share vehicles over the years. With a catalog of hits as deep as theirs, it can also extend to colors as well, which is exactly what we're presenting in this Tailored Driver.
Market Find: BMW Individual E92 M3 in E46-era Phoenix Yellow
Heritage or iconic brand colors are always a solid choice when it comes to a tailored specification, so an E92-generation BMW M3 Coupé in Phoenix Yellow Metallic of the E46 M3 generation just makes a lot of sense. Now pair it with a 6-speed manual transmission and Fox Red Extended Novillo leather and you have an exceptional specification.
Market Find: Dark Olive Metallic 911 Dakar at Porsche Jacksonville
We’re going to make some assumptions here, but consider them educated guesses. We’re guessing your common quick flipper wouldn’t build a car like this. Okay, maybe a PTS allotment for the teacher’s pet client at Porsche Anywhere isn’t that rare, but subtle Dark Olive Metallic straight up and sans stickers or nostalgic livery nods isn’t your typical spec and flip behavior.
EU Market Find: Parisian 1992 Mercedes 300 3.4 AMG in Crystal Green
Likely due to rarity, it's not uncommon to see a W124-generation Mercedes-Benz 300 CE coupe built by AMG crossing the six figure mark. Transaction prices approaching six figures (actually passing them by the time you convert to U.S. dollars and import) aren't something we typically see of 1990s era cars from Mercedes-Benz. However, make them a well preserved AMG and it's a whole new ballgame.

Market Find: 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV in Giallo Fly set for Broad Arrow at The Amelia
In Italian "countach" is an expression like "goodness" or "oh my God." Sounds about right. Car-aware kids of the 1980s likely exclaimed it when they first encountered one, maybe in the pages of Road & Track or maybe in that opening scene of Cannonball Run.
Market Find: Singer “Step on It” Commission on Bring a Trailer
Frankly, we're going to love any Singer, though the "Step on It" Commission is pretty unique. The color is simply stated as "paint to sample blue" so unspecified, but appears to be close to Porsche's Albert Blue. The car is tastefully appointed, with red accents though the red wheels may be polarizing to certain buyers.
Market Find: 2011 Porsche Paint to Sample Mexico Blue 911 Turbo S
Will·
The 997.2 Turbo S is, in most cases, a Porsche model which wears the 'good value' for money badge proudly. Enthusiasts have overlooked the shocking performance due to a lack of engagement from the PDK-only transmission, and as such the 997 Turbo S can often be had for a song- even more so should it's roof be made of fabric rather than metal.
EU Market Find: 1997 BMW Individual Aegean Blue Metallic M3 Coupe
Will·
Say it with us- BMW Individual Aegean Blue Metallic over Cream Nappa Leather. In 1997 this particular Tailored Driver was the choice of an M3 connoisseur, choosing the classiest of color combinations at their dealer and achieving a jaw-dropping finished product.
