Could you post some images - ser#s?

I found a few ads in Europe selling a V cab like this:

I have never heard of a JCM900 in white. I know these new ones are from the custom shop but I never seen one from the 90s. Now I have seen a white JCM800 but no 900. Seems to me though that Europe got some amps we never seen in the USA.

Also consider that someone may have put the chassis into a new white cabinet themselves. You can buy the box cabinets in any tolex color over here.
