I'm looking for a series II CV8. Anyone here know what the CV8-R produced right at the end of series II production had over and above a normal CV8? I thought they only came in Pulse Red or Turbine, but I just saw a Purple Haze one advertised. Hopefully they all didn't have that horrible white trim that I saw on one yesterday. |

Light slate/light shale - is this the icky white/beige trim? Definitely don't want that. Saw a new CV8-R at a Newcastle Holden dealer today. It was parked next to a black VZ. The VZ is bloody ugly - looks like a mixture of mustang, doof doof (stupid jap c |
