Market Find: BMW Atlantis Blue Metallic M3 Coupe
Will·
Initially built by the obsessive minds at IND Distribution, this BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic M3 has just about everything you can do to an E9X M3. The subject of more than a few blog posts (like this one), both the history and modifications to this Tailored Driver are well documented.
EU Market Find: Nogaro Edition Audi ur quattro in Switzerland
Despite evidence you may see here suggesting otherwise, Nogaro Blue as a paint color didn’t show up at Audi until the RS2 era. If you’re doing the math, that’s about a decade before this 1983 Audi quattro left the factory. Yet here it sits.
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.
EU Market Find: Rare Blue Chiaro Ferrari Mondial with Red Carpets
If there’s a bargain Ferrari nowadays then maybe that’s the Mondial. It may not feature the unique Bertone design or the romance of the Dino GT4, but it’s got a similar 2+2 configuration that will allow you to drive around with some of your shorter friends.
Market Find: BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic M3 Competition
Will·
BMW's Atlantis Blue Metallic is not exactly what we'd consider understated, but what it lacks in modesty it more than makes up for in dynamism. Appearing blue in low light, and bursting to nearly teal in direct sunlight, Atlantis looks right at home on the M3 Competition- especially when paired with the equally shouty Kyalami Orange seats.
Market Find: Paint to Sample Albert Blue Porsche 911 GT3 RS in San Luis Obispo
Paint to Sample Albert Blue is an interesting color choice for a 911 GT3 RS - a color from Porsche's rich heritage that's somewhat subdued for such an in-your-face car as a GT3 RS. Pair it with red graphics though (not to mention carbon fiber laden Weissach Package) and the overall look becomes decidedly more bold.
EU Market Find: 1975 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 in Blu Azorro Metallizzato
This rare colored Dino 308 GT4 was owned by the same family for over three decades until it was sold to the current owner in 2020. The car has been repainted in its original color, Blu Azorro Metallizzato, the same color as used in the brochure (see photo).
Market Find: Blue on Blue Ferrari 812 GTS
Seems like tone on tone is the new black right now, and this Blue America over Blue Sterling leather Ferrari 812 GTS certainly qualifies. In addition to all the blue, this Atelier New York build also includes Blu Sterling steering wheel and upper dashboard, special internal glossy blue carbon fiber, red seat belts and Bianco 2000 stitching. There are also some elements on Rosso Ferrari leather such as center console, lower dashboard and door panels.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Turquoise 911 3.2 Cabriolet
Will·
"Probably the only one" says the description of this Tailored Driver, and if that is indeed the case, shame on the well-to-do of the late 80's. Porsche's Paint to Sample Turquoise is seldom seen, another shame which we can only chalk up to a lack of awareness.
Market Find: Paint to Sample Oslo Blue Porsche 911 Sport Classic
Glass half empty, the exclusivity of the 992-generation Porsche 911 Sport Classic means that very few people had the opportunity to order one. Glass half full, this rarity also contributed to a high take rate for paint to sample services. In the case of this ultra low mileage example, that paint to sample color is 356-era Oslo Blue.
EU Market Find: BMW Individual Santorini Blue 316ti
Will·
Tailored Driver strives to be of the people and by the people. So while it'd be really easy to just post blank-check Porsche GT variants all day long, we'd rather dig in the proverbial crates for stuff you can actually attain. The latest example of that is this E36 316ti, finished in Santorini Blue and currently on offer for a scant €2,100.
