Cosmo is a wierd colour. Purple Haze from V2II was a nicer colour. Cosmo did look nice on the CV8, it was the purple trim that turned my stomach. There were a few ordinary colours around that era, like Tiger, Hyper, Flame, Hothouse. Those coloured cars suffered badly on the used market. Good old black, red, white, silver were the smart choices if you planned to turn over the car within 3-4 years.
