Everyone has different ideas of colour, at the end of the day many people believe White will go out of fashion, no doubt if their testicles could talk it would be the same story.

Fuji White looks great, as does every other colour, if you want it, you get it and enjoy it

Buy the colour for yourself not those who will be buying the car after you

Cleaning is straight forward, not as easy as silver, but road grime is generally light in colour so doesnt show up that much on it

I think James at LPR has a nice looking White HSE with black wheels which I think sets the car off nicely  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

White is fine... Grey would have been my first choice but I bought 2nd hand and there wasn't much choice at the time.
I have got use to the colour especially after I put in some dark tinted windows which goes well with it.
I hardly have the need to clean it too which is a bonus

My other car is a very similar shade of white and it a great alternative to the very practical silver, now that just about every other car seems to be a variant of silver or grey....

White doesn't show scratches and swirl marks, stays incredibly cool in the summer (much more so than silver) and doesn't show the dirt anything like as much as you'd imagine, except for one thing: tar spots As soon as you have a white car you will notice little black spots appearing on the back and lower sides of the car and they are a complete pain to clean off

If you are planning on keeping you car near concourse, they are a complete pain; if you are planning on just using it as Land Rover intended, you may never notice them.

I think white looks great (yours included Mr Pinks ). I know the resale value will not be an issue with white, as it's perceived as a 'trendy' colour. I had a white car years ago and it was surprisingly easy to keep clean, but there again, so is any colour, if you're not afraid of soapy water and a sponge. If resale value is a real concern, then black is the top seller. That's not my biased opinion and I'm not starting another colour war  Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

I think White just looks wrong. Main reason is most Chelsea tractors are White and x6's which just look terrible.

Most chealsea tractors, and the footballer cars are black, you only have to look at lpr forecourt for the proof

I can understand why Land Rover produce only one solid colour (why would you increase the choice, if you could charge £550 for every other colour, despite it costing no more to make?!), but I'd really like to see a couple of other solid colours, like red.

Interestingly, a colleague ordered up a red Alfa and they charge a premium for solid red Robbing *******'s! And you'd have thought it would have been in Alfa's interests to produce their cars in red to postpone all of those corrosion warranty claims!

Ordering the wife's new car, 3 dealers tried to charge £100 for the White paintwork, saying it's a bright colour never mind the fact she could have chosen any of the 4 colours in her model at no extra cost, really pathetic to say they didn't know their own product

There not car salesmen, they are number crunchers who sell finance on the car your buying, the complete opposite to the likes of James and company at LPR. Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

tractors are green muddy and live in fields At work
At home
