Does anyone have any pictures of a D3 in white? 
I have a customer who wishes to see one of our fine beasts in British Racing White.
But, without seeing one....

He is going on a round the world trek
most of it will be in very nice warm places, so white/silver will probably work best
Thanks for the galleries, I will pass them on.

I imagine that silver would be more attractive from the point of view of resale value, as most people (in my experience) are not keen on white on a premium car. I'm sure you know more about this than me though.
Round the world trip eh? He'd better hope it doesn't break down

Mines white. Got pics in the gallery.
For heat reflection, Silver is almost as bad as black as it tends to absorb most of the spectrum. Have a nice day!

After it has been around the world I should think its value will be low anyway! DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

was reading i our Local newpaper "The Press and Journal" only today that White is the new Black.
Got to admit I saw a white D3 on the A9 Sunday and it looked kinda cool. 8)

White looks very good with privacy glass. It also needs the roof rails.

Thank you all very much for the replies, Chris yours looks amazing, the ARB bar will have to go onto his spec!
I don't think the resale value will be too affected, at the moment their plan is South America, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia then...
