Can't say for sure really but safe to say not much. In the UK there's hardly any white scoobies. The ones that are are more than likely to be the type RA version of the car which in itself, is rare.

I had a white UK Impreza Turbo - hit the road 07 April, 1994. No choice of colour at the dealer, but a 6 month wait for a 4 dr or a 4 month for a 5. I took the car they had and loved it.

Traded it for a DGM, a couple of years later, and then got another white one two years after that. Very distinctive and quite rare I'd say.

Cheers

Mike

Hmm then why was it that almost every scooby I see is either red, blue or silver? Thats it, I'm getting myself a colour change and spray the car yellow. Lets see how rare would that be!

Question

Do you lot with white cars have to keep reminding yourselves not to chuck the washing in it? They even have glass in the doors so you can watch your stuff rinse.

yep have to say i got one as well white 95 jap import and yes it is a bar steward to keep clean but the 17inch gold OZ alloys break up the monotony, along with the prodrive spoiler and the front splitter.

cheers

Yup - the purple one is acutally a Ford or Rover colour I believe (if I had a good memory I could remember properly ) It belongs to Colin in Hampshire and it's a work of art Oh - but there is another one in France

There's also a white one at the Hants meets - import from Belgium

I think a lot of imports from the ole nippon will be white as it's considered lucky over there
Gota say another colour i have seen, but IMO is mingin, is a light blue or cyan (for those of u that can remember the spectrum 48k ) now that was less hard core scooby & more camp as row of tents lol Anyway b4 i offend any1

White ones tend to be low spec L or TS models for some reason. Black is rare but looks

When I ordered my sti7 I didn't want blue or black, so I had the choice of silver or white. I've got a silver one as the dealer said that white in his opinion is harder to sell secondhand. Mind you, I thought the white looked really good, but I guess it'll always look dirty...
