IMHO the grey looks great but it would be one of those colours where you would need a good paintjob to pull it off (I.E a £1k blowover will not cut it and make it look almost like primer...) and it is one of those colours where either great photography or seeing it in the daylight would really make it stand out as something special.
For that reason I would say stick with White because it hides a multitude of imperfections (there is a reason why most vans are painted white
) and it will help the resale value, which at the moment seem to be heading one way. Yes you could attract another buyer with Grey but you are also limiting your market as well.

or if u want grey, theres a shiny metallic grey that looks similar,but is shiny ,and glimmers in the sun. reyland put it on his firenza,think its an audi colour(or mercedes does it too---its proper lurvely)
theres also shiny red on ans1 that looks fantastic.
youre stuck for options on s1 as they only really look good in some colours- red, black,and silver. tbh,my opinion only.
This is also a great shout. If it were me I would wrap the car if the bodywork is sound. That way you get the best of both worlds.
