Been thinking about it all day and its only about 45mins away from me,  trying to save up for a loft conversion though..

was it just not a very popular colour when it was released didn't sell much that's why its rare as not many people like white in those days as its looks better now these days

I think it was just a GTi thing as i've seen plenty of lower spec mk3's in white, red/green/blue/black seems to have been the default colour for the GTi and VR6.

White was a bit poverty spec in the eighties and nineties with metallic blues, greys and blacks being the in and most expensive colours.

did the white / silver gti recieve a pearl finish or was it just gloss and then laquer
