Neither/Nor

0 Hello! 02br
02br
00My problem is this kind of sentence 02br
02br
00None of these cars are neither black nor white. 02br
02br
00Because I would prefer to write: 02br
00None of these cars are either black or white. 02br
02br
00Is both possible? One of these bad english, informal, whatever? 02br
00Thanks for answering 0-
