In White.......

[bund]

So does the colour have any real impact on this cars re-sale price........

I just wouldnt have gone for cream.

I only say because i was toying with the idea of growing balls big enough to buy a car in white one day.....

That certainly looks the business, apart from the, what I presume are US nanny bumpers and an interior that would look more at home in a Lexus!

I bought white, mainly because I wanted the retro white and red look, but I do think white really suits the newer shape 911s. Plenty of Supercup drivers think so too as did Porsche with the GT3RSs.

I love it, dont mind the leather colour, think a retrofitted interior carbon kit is needed though!

I think white looks great on the right car, although there generally needs some kind of racing connection to pull it off.

It's a sodding nightmare to keep clean though.

I beg to differ -black or dark blue is far worse!!

White 996 Turbo.

Just lovely. Needs a black and carbon interior though....... Oooof.

Saw a Carrera 4S in white recently and thought it looked fantastic!

White is the new silver (don't tell the cops!)

[doctorpepper]

There is a certain Pistonheader who has a very nice looking GT3MR in White... sorry did I say very nice looking I meant stunning!

[964RS]

That interior is simply awful on a white car (IMHO probably on any car....)

I'm sure this car has also been on ebay and a few other places before....

I also wonder what the guy gave for the car as the owner was supposedly connected with royalty? I know oil is well off its highs now at a very low $60 odd but surely they wouldn't have driven a hard bargain for it. Hardly in need of cash i would have thought.

Keep talking the white up gents i may grow the balls for the new turbo with black wheels.

the white looks good, the interior is absolutely hideous

more money than sense or taste has never been more true

Dunno. Light colour interiors are a good idea in very hot climates. Don't like the wood bits though.

I find myself quite liking the car, just because it's so unusual.

As for ever selling it again though - forget it, can you imagine what an OPC would bid for it, it would quite funny to ask

[bund]

Im starting to tell my self that a white turbo with black wheels and a black leather may look some what different in a good way.

must have white car, must have white car, must have white car.

I did see a BCT outside a club in london the other day in white and my first thoughts were he must have another car .......

nope sorry, white still horrible unless RS

I'm sure you get away with such pimp my ride white exterior / wood-everwhere interior horror shows in Qatar but not in good old blighty where wood should only be seen in Jags and Rollers

Especially as it looks alarmingly like glossy plastic - funny that eh?

You can't use wood in cabins with funky shapes like that. It has to be a shape wood would realistically have been fashioned into.

Still that cars not quite as awful as it ought to be.
