Market Find: Audi exclusive Night Blue Metallic R8 V8 6MT
Will·
It's been 17 long years since Tony Stark drove an R8 in the first Iron Man, a defining moment that put Audi's then-new R8 on the map. In fact, the R8 was somewhat of a media darling in the product placement sphere, spear-heading a massive push that will be studied in future Marketing and Advertising classes if it isn't already. So it comes without shock that in-period buyers wanted to opt for something a bit more exclusive for their own R8.
Euro Market Find: Jazz Blue Volkswagen Bora VR6 4Motion Wagon
Does a perfect spec qualify as tailored? We can debate the issue, but I tend to land on the side of yes, assuming the desirability of a car finely and perfectly specified from a robust factory order book represents a different sort of tailoring. It's the sort of thing that goes with budget cars, from companies that don't typically offer tailoring services. Nevertheless, cars like this are special and it's with that in mind that we present to you this Y2K Volkswagen Bora.

Euro Market Find: 1 of 1 1996 Mini Cooper S
This car's a bit of a puzzle. It's an "ur" Mini. "Ur" means "original" in German, which is how Germans designate the original Audi quattro from every other Audi with quattro. Given this Mini is in Germany, not far from Frankfurt, the German descriptor sort of works.
Market Find: 2002 Audi S4 Avant, Nogaro Blue, Manual Transmission
Okay, technically Nogaro Blue was a standard color offering on the B5 Audi S4. Even still, it's rare enough and sought after enough by enthusiasts that it bears mentioning. Now throw in excellent specifications like Avant body (wagon in Audi speak) and manual transmission and we most definitely have a winner.

Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Aetna Blue Macan
Will·
Fairly base spec, incredibly low miles, Paint to Sample color- this Macan is a bit of a head scratcher. While there is no denying Aetna Blue as a special color, the choices made (or not made) on this Tailored Driver have us wondering why.
Market Find: BMW Individual Santorini Blue X5 M Competition
Will·
When seeking out new Tailored Drivers for feature on this site, there are few better phrases than "Corporate Fleet Vehicle." While some could dismiss that as a rare form of abuse by jaded OEM employees, we see it as the opportunity to get into something taken to new heights by those internal folks who had a chance to spec a vehicle without finance asking about take-rates and forcasting depreciation.
Market Find: Porsche 911T Build in Gulf Blue
Okay, it's a build. However, it's a build done in an exceedingly factory-like appearance. This car began life as a 911T, though as it sits it's a lot more widebody RSR style. And whereas modern cars painted Gulf Blue throw a nod at the rich tradition of Gulf Racing liveries on old Porsches, an old racing Porsche in Gulf Blue is a whole other level of tribute.
