Market Find: 1991 Porsche 911 Turbo in PTS Summer Yellow
We're particularly fond of Paint to Sample Porsches built in an era before Paint to Sample was a common occurrence. In this case, the color specification is Summer Yellow over black leather, made even better with 18-inch two-piece Speedline variants of the classic 964-era Cup 1 wheel design.
Market Find: Singer Classic Coupe at Barrett Jackson
A dark green Classic Services restoration from Singer Vehicle Design is always a winner in our book, so the 911 you see here that's part of Barrett Jackson's upcoming Scottsdale 2025 auction is definitely worth a closer look and a healthy amount of lust.
EU Market Find: 1992 Porsche Turbo-Look 911 C2 Cabriolet with Leather to Sample
Will·
We're big fans of the road less traveled here, that's not exactly a secret. This Tailored Driver is exactly that- finished in Porsche's Midnight Blue Metallic (rare), with 1992's 911 C2 Cab Rest-of-World only Turbo Look body optioned (more rare) Leather to Sample in an unknown light blue (incredibly rare).
Market Find: 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS in PTS Meissen Blue
There are so many reasons we love this Certified Pre-Owned 911 GT3 RS in the used car inventory over at Porsche North Houston. For starters, it had us at Weissach Package 911 GT3 RS. We also seriously appreciate that the first owner didn't just buy it to flip it, loging over 4,000 miles on the odometer before trading it in on whatever is next.
EU Market Find: 1992 Porsche 911 Turbo in Mint Green
We're hitting a theme this week of cars that have experienced color changes, and this one may be the most interesting yet. Get past the fact that it seems like you rarely if ever see a 964-generation 911 Turbo in Mint Green (much less one with less than 200 miles on the odometer), because that's just the beginning of the story. You see, this car left the factory painted Paint to Sample Gulf Orange (gulforange; 019; non-metallic UNI; Porsche) with black interior.
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.
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.
EU Market Find: 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 in Signal Green
This isn't a pristine collector 964-era 911. Like a lot of European market 911s, this very early 964 (July 1989 first registration) has been loosely cloned to look like a 964 Carrera RS / N/GT or Cup including Cup 1 wheels, Recaro Pole Position seats and a few other things. Like a lot of these early 964s that became RS clones, some liberties were taken like black paint on the Cup 1 wheels, fitting later brakes that appear to be OEM, (a.k.a. "big reds") and a few other things a real RS wouldn't have.
Market Find: 2005 Porsche Paint to Sample Linen Grey Metallic 911 Carrera S Cabriolet
Will·
We'll never tire of 997 and older generation Paint (and Leather) to Sample Porsche models as this was a time before social media notoriety, when you either found out about the Paint to Sample program through a forum, or through your well-informed Dealer. In other words, if you had about $4,000, some level of patience and a vision, there was a good shot your newly ordered Porsche would be a one-off.
Market Find: 2018 Porsche Paint to Sample Meteor Grey Metallic 911 GT3
Will·
At the offices of Tailored Driver, we love to put ourselves in the shoes of our Market Find's original Tailors and try to imagine how conversations went while curating and submitting each order. With this Paint to Sample Meteor Grey Metallic 991-generation GT3, we'd assume that a 997-generation GT3 owner walked into the Porsche dealer in Plano, TX after being told that the then-new 2018 model would be available with three pedals for what was assumed to be the last time.
