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.
Market Find: 2022 Porsche Paint to Sample San Marino Blue 718 Cayman GTS

It's often said (or at least inferred) that the BMW M3/4 is the last stop on a car enthusiasts way to Porsche ownership. If that's the case, this Paint to Sample San Marino Blue 718 Cayman GTS is one hell of a proof of concept.
Market Find: 2004 Porsche Paint to Sample Zircon Blue Metallic 911 Turbo X50 Cabriolet
Will·
In terms of rarity, 996-generation Paint to Sample Porsches are up there. Graded on that curve, this particular 996 Turbo Cab with X50 package is simply off the charts. Draped in Porsche Paint to Sample Zircon Blue Metallic- a color so rare that Rennbow can only muster a shrug and a Google search of the color shows this car as the only result- this Tailored Driver also represents a bit of a question mark for us.
EU Market Find: Red-on-Red 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI
Nothing like a highly unique car in a highly unique build. In 1974, one year after producing the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7, Porsche introduced the 911 2.7 with mechanical fuel injection (MFI). And while it had gone to G-body construction including bigger and heavier bumpers, it made up for that with countermeasures such as lighter seats an aluminum arms in the rear suspension. All told, it weighed in at 1075 kg (2370 lbs) and was capable of 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds... in 1974.

Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Black Olive GT4 RS
Will·
The myriad shades of Green seem to be in vogue, yet Porsche's Paint to Sample Dark Olive isn't one we see often. Perhaps it's the deeper, more subdued nature of Dark Olive which drives folks to order Nato Olive or Smyrna Green instead, but in our eyes- that's their loss.
Market Find: “The Denmark Commission” Singer Classic Study Porsche 911
In modern parlance, the "Classic Study" from Singer is effectively its original format. While in the earliest days of the Southern California-based Porsche reimagineer this was the Singer model, subsequent launches of the extreme DLS or more G-body inspired Turbo now mean the original F-body or so-called "longhood" inspired car is known as the "Classic Study".
Market Find: Spikes Car Radio Plan-Z 911 GT3 RS at Porsche Clearwater
If you're fans of Spike's Car Radio (Links: Apple, YouTube) as we are, then you probably know that "Plan Z" is vernacular for a car owned by multiple people (typically friends who trust each other not to leave groceries in the frunk). You probably also know that show hosts Spike Feresten and Paul Zuckerman are frequent Plan Z partners.
EU Market Find: Ex-Factory Porsche 993 Targa in Blue Turquoise plus MT6 in Belgium
In the lexicon of air-cooled Porsche 911s, the 993 Targa is both obscure and hard to find. By the final air-cooled type 993 generation, Porsche had ditched the full-width open top with roll hoop-style design it had pioneered throughout F-body, G-body and 964 generations, replacing them with a more livable (and heavier) glass panorama-style panel that slide back underneath the rear window glass. It's a design that would stick around through 996 and 997 generations. During the 993 generation, it wasn't terribly popular, making it a rare find today. Now add a very rare paint color and you have a very unique find indeed.
Market Find: Gulf Racing Themed 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Sometimes the whole Gulf Racing thing can go a little overboard. It get's done, and it get's done a lot, but doesn't always work... a little too ambitiously racey for a road car. The 911 GT3 RS though, it's already got heavy racecar feel to it anyway, and those aerodynamics functional. So, spec in Gulf Blue with Weissach Package, orange stitching and orange graphics and fight the urge to logo it up and we'd argue this is one of the cooler livery-inspired 992 GT3 RS specifications we've seen.
