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: Porsche Paint to Sample Auratium Green 718 Spyder RS
Will·
This Tailored Driver marks the second instance of Auratium Green to grace our pages, and frankly that's a shame. This pale pastel green has all the makings of a future classic, yet it's still as relevant on this 718 Spyder RS as it was on the 356 where it debuted.
EU Market Find: Rare Green-on-Green 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa
While the Porsche 911 964 generation was definitely sold in the United States, the last of the primarily hand built and upright headlight air-cooled 911s has become a rare and valuable commodity thanks to the likes of Singer and RWB conversions. Given that, seeking out cars in Europe can not only net more selection, it can also pay a bonus with rare specifications most American buyers weren't likely to order. We think this green-on-green 1991 911 Carrera 2 Targa qualifies.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Geyser Grey Metallic 911 GT3 Touring
Will·
Despite the potential for being dismissed as simply 'beige' by onlookers, Porsche's Geyser Grey Metallic is a pretty interesting color in the eyes of Tailored Driver. Most commonly seen on the 50th Anniversary 911, Geyser is an off-white with a fairly subtle metallic flake for some added dynamism.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Ocean Blue Metallic 911 Turbo S
Will·
Having been most notably applied to late production 993 (1997) and early production 996 (up to 2000) models, Porsche's Paint to Sample Ocean Blue Metallic is a stunner that flies incredibly far under the radar.
Market Find: THAT Porsche Paint to Sample Mint Green 911 GT3
Will·
Some Tailored Drivers come with more of a story than others, and if written, this Driver's page count would be somewhere between War and Peace and The Bible. The incredibly brief version is that this GT3 was repossessed wearing a half-completed widebody prototype, and at some point transitioned from being a vehicle to being someone's living quarters.
Market Find: Paint to Sample Sepia Brown Porsche 911 Targa 4S
Will·
The next owner of this Tailored Driver has to really love brown. While we've played around with Porsche's Paint to Sample configurator and toyed with the idea of Sepia Brown, we've yet to see someone take the plunge. Perhaps because it's a non-metallic, meaning it's a LOT of brown.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Voodoo Blue 911 Carrera S Coupe
Will·
Porsche's Paint to Sample Voodoo Blue is quickly attaining frequent flyer status at Tailored Driver, and for good reason- the pale blue looks quite incredible, regardless of application. While somewhat wild to say, 2018 was already 7(!) years ago and just slightly before Paint to Sample became a nearly must-have option for new Porsche buyers.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Viola Metallic 718 Cayman GT4 with CXX Hounds Tooth Inserts
Will·
The 718 Cayman GT4 (and Boxster Spyder for that matter) are Tailored Driver favorites for a number of reasons, most of them fairly obvious- size, shape, power, etc. Further tugging on our heartstrings, this particular example is finished in the dark and moody Viola Metallic, paired with Carbon Fiber bucket seats that happen to feature CXX-tailored Hounds Tooth inserts.
Market Find: 2021 Porsche Paint to Sample Brewster Green 911 Carrera S
Will·
Porscheflation aside, this $149,992 992.1-generation 911 Carrera S has a lot going for it. Brewster Green is always a hit regardless of application, as are cloth-centered seats and three pedals. But what really does it for us on this particular Tailored Driver is the restraint shown on the build.
