The only negative thing about a white car is that they show the rust quicker more than real colours 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Along with silver it's the easiest colour to clean , no swirls to be seen , easy to see the tar spots for removing before polishing , plus it's £550 cheaper then the swirly metallic paints, however I do like that Orkney grey,

Starting from the front they are called:

'A' between windscreen and door
'B' where the fron seat belts retract into
'C' where the rear doors close against
'D' where the boot closes against

Very nice - 1987 model year Tubo MG.. White is a very nice colour if it has at least one piece of coloured trim like the red bumper insert on that MG Montego. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

And Zephers (yuk) Mk11 Jags (lovely) and Coppers dogs in the back of A40's!!
You take me back athelstan, although we are of simliar age bracket, roughly speaking.
The Rozzer cars i remember were grey (A30's, A35's) and light blue (moggie thou) and black Jags!!

Oh, they were the days, pure bliss in the summer. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.
