    EU Market Find: 1975 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 in Blu Azorro Metallizzato

    What: 1975 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4
    Color: Blu Azorro Metallizzato (bluazorrometallizzato; metallic UNI; 106-A-32; Ferrari)
    VIN:  N/A
    Mileage: 85,255 km shown, 52,975 miles
    Bid Price: € 115,000

    Listing: Autoscout24.de

    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).

    A notable detail about the 308 GT4. It is the only factory Ferrari design from Bertone, a Gandini original. Though these don’t carry the premium of earlier Pininfarina Dinos, the 308 GT4 represents one of the genuine bargains in the Ferrari collector world.

    The aggressive lines of a 718 Cayman GT4 RS Weissach Package take on an extra level of sophistication when you pair a more subtle Paint to Sample shade like Porsche Oak Green Metallic. That’s been paired here with fairly standard spec for a high-spec 718 Cayman GT4 RS, this includes Black Leather / Race Tex interior with grey seat centers and Arctic Grey Stiching.

  • Market Find: Grasmere Green Land Rover Defender 90 200 TDi on BaT

    Market Find: Grasmere Green Land Rover Defender 90 200 TDi on BaT

    Color: Grasmere Green (grasmeregreen; non-metallic; 1CD/HBV/2207; Land Rover)

    Imported in 2020, this left hand drive original Defender 90 is a desirable specification though not entirely original. It’s been modified to look like early HUE 166 model including Grasmere Green paint, beige seats, white roof, color matched steel wheels and “HUE 166” badging.

    Also desirable, it’s go the more powerful 2.5-liter turbodiesel inline four cylinder with give-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. Other amenities include dual inward facing rear seats, locking center differential, hard top, 16-inch steel wheels, “Puma” hood, front disc brakes and cabin heater.

    The listing has a lot of close-up detail shots that we didn’t include here but are worth checking out if you are thinking about bidding. Most Land Rovers this age are not pristine, and this one shows some wear and overspray. Even still, it’s still quite charming in a very classic Land Rover specification and so we’re including it here.

    Market Find: Audi exclusive Deep Green Pearl RS Q8 performance in NJ

    What: 2025 Audi RS Q8 performance

    Listing: Paul Miller Audi

    We’ve seen the same story play out over and over, and we love it when it happens. Enthusiast working at dealership sees a special build car come into inventory and gets the word out to brand aficionados often before the dealership even has photos of the car on their website.

    That’s the case with this RS Q8 performance in Deep Green Pearl over Cognac leather that’s turned up at Paul Miller Audi. Albert Chua at the dealership shared these photos to Audi Club North America’s user group on Facebook HERE.

    The car can be found Paul Miller Audi’s website of course, but the photos are configurator renderings and at Audi those don’t include the color. Even if they did, a render is never as good as real photos, so special thanks to Albert Chua for sharing them.

    Should you ring up the dealer, ask for Albert and let him know we sent you.

    Update: We also found it on Audi Club’s Classifieds Group as well, this time posted by Seamus Twohig also at Paul Miller with even more photos. If a dealership with one enthusiast member of the sales team is great, a dealership with two is even better. That second listing with more photos can be found HERE.

  • Market Find: First 911 S/T We Found for Sale. Successful Circumnavigation of the Lease?

    Market Find: First 911 S/T We Found for Sale. Successful Circumnavigation of the Lease?

    What: 2024 Porsche 911 S/T
    Color: Shade Green Metallic (shadegreen; metallic-UNI; M6F; Porsche)
    VIN:  WP0AF2A97RS273031
    Mileage: 66 Miles

    Location: Langley, BC
    Listing: Porsche Centre Langley

    We haven’t had a Porsche 911 S/T on the site yet. The reason why is simple. Getting an allotment was nigh impossible unless you were a Porsche highly regular, and even those were leased to all American buyers for a year assuring they wouldn’t end up in flip mode. The same was the case for Canada, or so we thought.

    Other than the one sold recently in a charity auction benefitting Los Angeles fire victims we haven’t seen these on the open market just yet. However, this Shade Green Metallic example for sale in British Columbia appears to be available and we found it on the Dupont Registry. Has it been a year since these things started being delivered?

    Shade Green Metallic is a 911 color. Yet can be ordered on a standard run-of-the-mill 911, though a quick check of the 911 S/T configurator in the U.S. shows no Shade Green availability. Paint to Sample isn’t mentioned in the ad, so perhaps it was available though Canada’s own configurator tool for the S/T isn’t active at this time.

    Regardless, Shade Green is paired here with Classic Cognac / Black leather seat that’s part of the Heritage Interior Design package. It’s also got the Heritage Design Package 60 Years 911, including Chrono Package, Front Axle Lift System, Ambient Lighting Plus, Porsche ParkAssist Rear, Bose Surround Sound System, Traffic Sign Recognition and LED-Matrix Design Headlights in Black with PDLS+ and much more, this 911 S/T ensures exceptional driving comfort and precision.

  • Market Find: 1968 Ferrari Dino 206 GT in Nocciola Metallizzato on BaT

    Market Find: 1968 Ferrari Dino 206 GT in Nocciola Metallizzato on BaT

    What: 1968 Ferrari Dino 206 GT
    Color: Nocciola Metallizzato (nocciolamtallizzato; metallic UNI; 106-M-27; Ferrari)
    VIN:  DIN0206GT00176

    Ferrari built just 150 examples of the Dino 206 GT in 1968. The car you see here is the 38th in that run, and one of just three to be produced from the factory in Nocciola Metallizzato (Italian for Hazelnut Metallic).

    The car was produced October 1, 1968, and delivered new to a dealership in Rome. It was imported into the U.S.A. in the 1970s, and was refurbished including a repaint to yellow in the 1980s. It next moved to Japan, then back to America where it was refurbished a second time between 205 and 2017 when it was returned to its original color combination including black vinyl with red leather seat inserts.

    The 206 GT means it’s got the 2.0-liter quad cam V6, which is paired to a 6-speed transaxle.

    The car’s listing on Bring a Trailer is quite thorough, detailing the car’s history in considerably more detail. It also includes two different sets of photos – even more of the studio shots you see here, and also shots outside under sunlight.

  • Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Gold Bronze Metallic 718 Spyder

    Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Gold Bronze Metallic 718 Spyder

    It’s sadly not as often as we’d hope that something comes across our desk from seemingly out of far left field and leaves us speechless, but that’s exactly where we find ourselves this morning. Paint to Sample Gold Bronze Metallic is nowhere on our radar, and after seeing it here- we’d say that’s a miss. More Bronze than Gold with a vibrancy helped by generous metallic flake, the color is stunning. No doubt that the black wheels, bucket seats, yellow belts and bright red fire extinguisher helps to juxtapose the color with a focused seriousness, but we’ll count ourselves among the converted.

  • Market Find: Audi exclusive Kemora Grey SQ5

    Market Find: Audi exclusive Kemora Grey SQ5

    What: 2025 Audi SQ5
    Color: Audi exclusive Kemora Grey Metallic (metallic-UNI; LX7F; Audi)
    VIN:  WA1C4AFY6S2054201
    Mileage: 9.4 Miles
    Price: $77,285
    CarFax: N/A
    Window Sticker: N/A
    Location: Concord, CA
    Listing: Audi Concord

    Audi exclusive Kemora Grey is hot, and for our money the SQ5 is one of the more under-rated models in Audi’s current lineup. Does that make this a must-have Tailored Driver? Maybe, if not for the seeming astronomical list price of $77,285.. and that’s after you factor the $5,000 discount placed on its hood. If you’re in the lease market, the story doesn’t get much better. So while Tailored Finance this is not, we can’t help but think the play here might be to set a Google alert for this VIN and wait for depreciation to take hold.

    Market Find: Blue on Blue Ferrari 812 GTS

    What: 2023 Ferrari 812 GTS
    Color: Blu America (blueamerica; metallic UNI; 666134; Ferrari)

    Listing: Ferrari San Antonio

    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.

    It is a very unique and tailored build to be sure.

    If you’re looking to have your Tailored Driver featured as a Market Find, a sure-fire way to do so is to paint it some variant of Green, and pair that with either Tan or Brown seats. British Racing is this Tailored Driver’s shade of green, and Tarfuto it’s Brown- never has a more safe bet been placed. And while the G80 M3 might not be everyone’s cup of tea, we think we can all agree this spec does the divisive design a ton of favors.
