Cars that look good in white

[adycav]

Hmmm – saw two newish cars yesterday in white, one of which looked quite good (Evo XIII) and one which didn’t (Mini Cooper S).

This lead to a discussion between Mrs Cav and me regarding what cars looked tasty in this colour. The list we came up with is as follows:

Peugeot 205 GTi
Toyota MR2 Mk1
Porsche 911 (pre ’89 and GT3 RS)
Honda Integra Type-R (of course)

And now we’re struggling…

Although they are rare, ive always thought the E36 M3 coupes looked really nice in white

E34 BMWs are beautiful in white as too are later 300E Mercs

R32 Skylines in white were just soooo beautiful

Lancer Evo 1, 2, 3, & 4 all look best in white

And ofcourse the old Lotus Esprit

There are some pics of a Lambo Merceilago in a whiteish colour on the FM&L boards which looks shockingly nice, didnt think it would work on such a big car and I was very wrong.

Can I add in the classic stuff that looks utterly spot on in the creamy off-white colours (old english white?).

Some of the slightly older Porches work very well in white. 924 944 968 etc and obviously 911s

I think all cars look good in white (atm anyway because so few cars are white).

[munky]

a Sagaris would look great in white with black / graphite wheels

Lotus Esprit S1 or S2 just has to be white so that you can pretend you are James Bond.
