Dunno. But i do wonder why it is that in my white Partner (car) , whether I am nose to nose with a posh 4x4 or high class sports cars, i am rarely the one reversing n the inner city narrow streets. (Its only for bigger vans that i have ever had to reverse.) I have heard that white van drivers have a terrible reputation.....

White is also easy to do a full respray over (dark colours/metallic are a pig) - whilst that is not a consideration for first owners it may be for people who buy the ex-fleet vans do 'do a little' something (I'm looking at 3.5 tonne horseboxes specifically though). Maybe that the bigger leasing companies have an eye on their final residual values so go for white?
Maybe just too much of the OP coloured fluid speaking mind
