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: Brumos Delivered One-of-One Purple 993 Turbo S Goes Sealed Bid with RM Sotheby’s
As measured by its Viola Metallic paint, this Porsche 911 Turbo S delivered new to Brumos Porsche is one of just three U.S. market cars to get this color. Now pair it with its unique interior specification and it is believed to be one-of-one.
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: Continental GT S in Lilac Frost at Bentley Beverly Hills
Maybe it just makes sense, but Bentley Beverly Hills has established itself as one of the foremost stockists of pastel-colored Bentley motor cars. We’ve highlighted them before on this site, and this particular purple Continental GT S fits snugly within that mold
Market Find: Green-on-Green E39 BMW 525i Wagon on Cars and Bids
From the discount tailored rack comes this well preserved and rare specification BMW 525i Touring we found listed over on Cars and Bids. Whether or not you count it as truly tailored is up to you. The exterior color of Slate Green was a standard offering on the E39. And, though we haven't yet found it in period catalogues, the interior specification of Stone Green and Black doesn't appear to be listed as special order on the attached Monroney window sticker.
Green-on-Green Porsche 959 SC by Canepa Slated for RM Miami
Reimagining any car to the exacting specification is an impressive thing, though beginning with one of 292 legendary Porsche 959s is a whole other level of commitment. That’s where Canepa comes in, with their reimagining of these Group B homologation specials into what they call a 959 SC (SC standing for Super Carrera).
BMW Individual Aubergine on Purple E39 540i Appears on Marketplace
We’re fond of tone on tone cars, wearing the same color on the inside as they do on the outside. White on white was popular in the 80s, blue on blue isn’t that uncommon, F40s were red on red, and green on green happens. Purple on purple though, that’s almost never seen… and yet here one is in the form of a 1997 BMW 540i that is purple inside and out.
Triple Blue x Pascha for Porsche 968 Cabriolet Headed to RM’s Miami Auction
If you were to imagine a fantasy list of Porsche models to be sold by a prominent collector / collection at a headline RM Sotheby's auction, the 968 Cabriolet may not be at the top of that list.
Triple Blue Porsche 911 GT2 RS ‘Weissach’ with RM Sotheby’s in Miami
We're noting a theme amongst the cars from the Todd Blue LAPIS collection, mainly blue and sometimes triple blue (blue body, blue wheels, blue interior) with some sort of incredible fabric pattern on the seats for good measure. Such is the case with this 991-era 911 GT2 RS "Weissach Package", an incredibly unique build with a long list of special wishes touches.
