Purple Monaro (so I guess a CV8) spotted on Deansgate in Manchester at 12pm today. Anyone?

Vauxhall didn't import them in purple so I wonder what the story is with this one. Nobody on PH/HSV.org has built a purple one have they?

In OZ...

This morning on my commute saw a Black '04 CV8 at the Cheddington Road crossroads in Long Marston.

Plate started W3.

That was a colour available in oz, plus a couple of others. Including one called tourismo blue. Was a pretty much in your face colour. Holden also did a darker purple colour as well which was nice. Limited colours though in hsv form. They didn't carry all the colours.

That looks like morpheous, which was a VE only colour. So id guess thats a repaint. The purple (darker than this) was called cosmo and was only available on VY2 as i recall.

I think it is a colour they called Fusion. Was around 2005 time.

They did morpheous in the VZ range... mainly utes... but it for memory it was one of the last colours offered on the monaro range...
