Yep...very nice, white's my favourite 205 GTi colour.
If there had of been one around without too many issues last August, I would've grabbed it.
I'm a little confused with my colour though, seems Graphite Grey is the most common metallic grey out there by a mile...thought mine was that, though every time i checked a Graphite Grey car out on the 'net (not the best colour matching source I know ), it seemed darker than mine.
Did a little paint code research a while back and as far as I can find, 'MOTA' which is what's stamped on the panel above passenger headlight on mine is the code for Steel Grey...which was like only 2% of total 205 GTi production, but more weirdly, was only a 'last phase' colour with the green carpets and black interior.
Mine's an '89 (phase 1.5?), ordered early Nov.'89, first registered 3/1/1990...RED carpets and grey interior.
Was told it was a 'special order'??

Wow that's cool!

The story sounds good anyway!

Yeah...not sure about all that...might just be my eyes, though 'MOTA' is Steel Grey I think.
95% of seller's story (original owner's son), checks out with original paperwork/WOFs etc....said it was special order from France, and almost caused a marriage break up at the time, husband hated spending money on cars and said she had to organise all servicing/maintenance herself, which she apparently did up until just before I bought it (she was 69 years old by then). Son said it was time (for her) for 4 doors and auto for ferrying grandkids around, etc.
A couple of guys on 205gtidrivers have claimed same paint/year spec as mine...but vast majority say "no"...only later cars with green carpet/black trim.
Need a Graphite Grey 205 to park beside...not too many 'round these parts though!

I haven't even got a 205 yet, but if I could choose I would have it in either white or gunmetal grey. most red ones I've seen always look faded. I've also seen a black one around, does anyone know if that's one of the standard colours for the 205?

[Griffe]

Yes it is, quite uncommon in NZ though

Also, on related matters, I saw a light blue 205 GTi today!  (in Sydney)

Where's that? Lol @ that Fiat thing. There was a day a week or so ago where I saw like 34674 of them in one day. I had to have a shower when I got home.
