It was sold here, but it was a £1500 option that not many people were willing to pay for.

They did a plain white on the 16v/16vt in Yerp (which looks pretty awful IMHO) but I believe it was even dropped in Yerp when they bought out the 20v versions.

£25k new Rare? Yes. Stunning? Matter of opinion.

i think it was more down to lack of availability, hence the lack of white or yellow plus models!

When I bought my first 20VT new in 1999, this was an option for the 2000 model year.
This was on the brochure at the dealer I seem to recall.
Wasn't really in fashion back then as most were either red, sprint and portofino blues.
I ended up buying a Speed red version with tan leather sunroof and aircon from a Belgium Fiat dealer.
When I picked my car up I recall seeing the rare "primer" coloured LE parked a few cars up!

I think there's one in the UK, sold by a dealer last year IIRC...I don't like any sort of white cars, so not for me - a colour best kept for Transit vans IMO

You should see the new Golf GTI with retro pack. White bodywork with chequered cloth interior, very late 70's.
It does really suit the car

Saw the "Irredescent White Pearl" coupe the other week in Queensferry. Have to admit it was very stunning. I would have had to pay the £1500 for the option.

That's a little unfair to the little 6R4, it was a fantastic piece of kit, 8 seconds to 100mph isn't to be sniffed at. If you're interested, there's some info here

Its a Rally car, not pretty, but functional.
Don't pick on metros either - they make great platforms for track weapons when coupled with a 1.8vvc engine from an MG/elise, and this is a straight engine swap as well.
No comparison for modern cars in any way, but fantastic track weapons. I speak from 1st hand experience of building one...
