The white has (IMO) more presence but the silver (despite being 10 months older) has less than half the miles 17k over 42k
The silver also has up-to-date FJSH with the white last being serviced by dealer in Dec 2016, so is almost 2 behind
Natch the silver is a little more expensive but have already got them to reduce the price by 10% for a cash sale over the phone...which I've never heard of before!?
The photo of the white car is superior and makes it look nicer than the silver car, but you should see both in person...
White has the rarer Vortex wheels, silver has Kalimnos wheels.
Looking at the age and mileage, it's probably down to exterior and interior colour and trim?
White is always dirty, silver blends in with everything and get run into more often than brighter colors.
I also don't think the white one would look good with your black wheels. No wheel definition compared to the bright white color. They look like black holes in the bodywork.
I would only base my decision purely on the mileage factor. If color is not a factor in your decision then go with the Silver one. Considering there are most likely no option differences I think the less mileage would be the better choice. I'm not a fan of either color but overall condition would also be a consideration. So assuming no chips or dents or wear marks take the one with best overall condition. Good luck.
No offense to white car owners, but white always looks like a ‘girls’ car.
Neither is a color I’d normally choose, but the silver would win in this case.
Even though I have a silver XKR coupe like you're considering, it would not have been my first choice as silver cars are far too common; it's the "new" white! And white is even more common, and a bit more boring. A plus for the silver is that it nearly never looks dirty. So, besides the added bonus that it has far less mileage, I'd choose the silver over the white. And at least there are some black accents on the car to break up the monotony. I added some black accents to mine to do the same. And I have the black Kalimnos wheels as well. Good luck with whichever car you end up purchasing.
Silver has standard interior whereas white has the upgraded seats, as seen below, which does lift the interior.
With regards to exterior colour my brethren stateside need to take into account country variances, so whilst white cars and pick-ups might be common where you are, they are a rarity in the UK, esp in sports coupés. The downside of white is that those that like the colour (17-30yr olds) invariably can't afford to buy or insure it, overweight 50+yr olds won't want a white car...but they are usually the only ones that can afford one
Don't think you see the colour that much from the inside regardless Plus I intend to keep the car for 10+years
A full wrap will cost you $3-5000.00. While you can have your seats re-upholstered in diamond stiched quilted leather for under a $1,000.00 and still keep your cooled seats.

Tberg come on $1000 to have the seats re-upholstered easily looking at 3-5k
I would go with the Silver. for all of the reasons stated above + the seats in the white car are not cooled.
Again a response based on the environment you live in, appreciate that in north america you'll most probably need cooled seats due to the temps reached.
Am 53 and seldom remember it getting much above 85F here in the UK as to make a cooled seats an unused feature...plus I don't sweat
We have similar temperatures to the UK here in NZ and I use my cooled seats a lot, in fact I used them on the way home today and it was only 20 degrees outside. They seem to trap heat due to their shape.
I am a similar age to you and around 67kg so you can't blame my weight!
