Hi Steve
The guy i bought the car bought it like that and he had it for some number of years. I hpi checked it when i got it and it is down as having a clour change from white to black! i questioned with the previous owner who said that the previous owner didnt like it white and wanted it black and had it colour changed.
Otherwise it was hpi clear and had all its original panels so i had no reason to query. The car was also solid.
Hope to see more updates soon go for white best colour imo.
Cheers
Ian
