Crystal white for sure. Zircon white has a green undertone and was definitely available for Cooper S, however that white has my vote for crystal.Zircon white if anyone has seen it is a beautiful colour and one of my favourite for an S.

ahhhh - is that the colour of Ian Thompson from Sydney's MK2 that he's had since new?

if so, then you're dead right, beautiful (but not very white)

No different colour. Zircon is a true white but is a bit greenish if seen next to a modern white car. It just gives it a classic look.
