Market Find: Grinch-Colored Porsche 911 Targa 4S Just in Time for Holidays
Okay, here's the deal. We don't always love them all, but we also recognize that polarizing specifications are often a matter of taste... or maybe acquired taste. So while we're greatly entertained by Instagram accounts like @worstspec on Instagram, we're not going to go so far as to jeer something outright.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Smyrna Green 718 Spyder RS
Will·
We're seeing quite the resurgence in Porsche's Paint to Sample Smyrna Green, and to be honest, we don't hate it. In this instance, we can clearly see the lineage between the 356 that Porsche first applied Smyrna to, and the 718 Spyder RS, and we've never been shy about loving a tribute.
Market Find: 2006 Porsche Paint to Sample Riviera Blue 911 Carrera C4S Cabriolet
Will·
It may not get the love that its air-cooled ancestors receive, but the 997-generation 911 gets plenty of admiration due to it's ideal size, relatively modern tech (current, should you get PCCM), and end-of-an-era dynamics that are defining characteristics of early 2000s metal.
Market Find: Singer “UK 1” Porsche 911 Classic Study in RM Private Sale Listing
The cue for a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer is measured in years, so for those seeking to own one and not hung up on creating their own commission, purchasing one off the pre-owned market is the most likely play. Granted, they don’t come up often, and when they do we tend to expect them in prestigious places like an RM Sotheby’s private listing.
Market Find: 2024 Porsche Paint to Sample Aubergine 911 Carrera S
Will·
Paint to Sample offers an incredibly wide array of colors, yet somehow we really only ever see the same 15-20. So when a great vintage-inspired build like the one represented by this Tailored Driver shows up in our searches, it provides perhaps a bit more excitement than we’d care to admit.
Color Focus: Porsche Guards Red – Y39
Guards Red (a.k.a. "India Red") is maybe the most Porsche of Porsche colors. No, it's not a quirky shade nor has it got "Signal" in the name, but it is perhaps the most ubiquitous. It seems like half the Porsches delivered in the 1980s could have been Guards Red, a time when it was not uncommon for owners of less desirably colored Porsches to respray their non-red Porsche to fit in.
Market Find: 2018 Porsche Paint to Sample Viola Purple Metallic 911 GT3
Will·
Not to be confused with the much darker Viola Metallic, Porsche's Paint to Sample Viola Purple Metallic is a much more playful, vibrant flavor of the historically royal color. When paired with Porsche's sporting GT3 variant of it's iconic 911, Viola Purple Metallic represents a juxtaposition that proves its Tailor is not one to take themselves too seriously.
Market Find: 2023 Porsche Paint to Sample Fjord Green 911 Carrera GTS
Will·
If much of the current Porsche market is the safe alternative short-term investment as it may seem, this Paint to Sample Fjord Green 911 Carrera GTS might be considered speculative at best. Allow us to explain- a claimed $136,000 in options were applied to this GTS, just $8,000 shy of matching of the car's $144,000 base price, and then it simply was not driven.
Market Find: 2023 Porsche Paint to Sample Irish Green Cayman GT4
Will·
We're massive fans of the Cayman GT4 here at Tailored Driver, so when a Paint to Sample'd VIN enters our radar it's impossible to not take notice. With this Market Find, we have the realization of a spec that's been kicked around our internal group chat for quite some time- Paint to Sample Irish Green, 6 speed manual transmission, Yellow deviated stitching, belts and door pulls, and because we're not as young as we once were, 18-way power seats.
