Market Find: 2003 Aston Martin DB AR1 in Ferrari Nero Daytona Headed for Broad Arrow Amelia Auction
Aston Martin and Zagato have a long history of collaborations – a series of offerings over the years applying Italian flair in Zagato’s iconic formula to the often very sensible British supercar nature of Aston Martin.
Market Find: 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupé in Ocean Jade Green Metallic on Bring a Trailer
We're always fans of Paint to Sample Porsche 911s of every ilk, but the older you go then the rarer it is to find Paint to Sample (PTS) and that makes them extra special. PTS wasn't unheard of in the 993 era by any stretch, but it's not like today when it seems like every other GT car allotment turns into a commissioned build by a rich client. That's the context that we share with you this 1997 911 Carrera S in Ocean Jade Green Metallic (ozeanjademetallic; metallic uni; L25K; Porsche) over on Bring a Trailer.

European Market Find: 1981 BMW E23 735i Touring by Euler in Cypress Green
Though it appears to be painted the standard 1981 E23 7-Series color of Cypress Green Metallic, this well-kept early 7er is anything but ordinary. You see, BMW never built a station wagon version of the E23 7er, but a small firm called Euler did and now one of these rare cars has hit the market.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Nogaro Blue Cayenne Turbo GT
Will·
We're suckers for Nogaro Blue, but this Tailored Driver in some ways brings it back to its roots. But rather than be an Audi massaged by Porsche like the RS 2 where Nogaro debuted, this is a Porsche with Audi's 4.0TFSI slightly massaged by Stuttgart.
Market Find: 2024 Bentley Mulliner Personal Red Violet Metallic Continental GTC Speed
Will·
This Tailored Driver is an incredibly big swing at individuality, and frankly we're here for it. With a $462,680 original MSRP ($23,680 of it representing love it or hate it Red Violet Metallic paint by Mulliner), and enough Magenta inside and out to make Barbie blush, the original Tailor of this Continental GTC Speed certainly isn't afraid to flaunt. They also seem to embody a "have fun, die smiling" mentality, frankly we'd love to shake their hand.
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.
Market Find: 2017 Audi exclusive Toucan Yellow A4
Will·
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
Will·
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.
Color Focus: Aston Martin Racing Green – AST1140
The story of Aston Martin Racing Green likely begins with England's pre-war national racing color of British Racing Green. At a time when top-tier racing represented pride in one's nation, blue stood for France, red for Italy, white (the silver) for Germany, yellow for Belgium, white with blue stripes for the USA and for England... green.
