It’s not hyperbole when we say the staff of Tailored Driver has been waiting 25 long years for the B5 generation RS 4 Avant to be importable, and while we’d need to hold off for another year for this MY2001 example, it just may be worth the wait. Now admittedly Santorin Blue is not at the top of our list, the simple fact that this was painted at the factory by a still incredibly under-the-radar Audi exclusive team should not go un-noticed. While we can speculate for what VIP thought Santorin usurped Nogaro, we’ll just be thankful that Audi’s Tailored division breathed on one of our all-time favorites. Expect more European-based Audi exclusive finds to grace the pages of Tailored Driver in the coming years.

So how’d it happen? Auto Bordin, the Swiss dealer listing this car tells the story fairly comprehensively, and so we’re going to post the English translation below.
