MK2 VW Golf GTI Needed for TV Appearance
« on: 11 June 2012, 17:52 »
Hi all

I'm part of the production team at Attaboy TV working on a brand new motoring programme for National Geographic. The programme pits two teams of mechanics against each other to take apart a car that is beyond repair, sell the parts and see who can make the most money.

As part of the new series we're featuring a MK 2 VW Golf GTI.

For the beginning of the episode we’re looking to film a 'pristine version' of a MK 2 Golf GTI. This will act as stock footage to set up the story for the rest of the programme.

As such we need a MK2 to film with that is in good condition (possibly having undergone a resto). We’re looking to film at a location in Surrey at some point over the next two days - date TBC.

If you have such a vehicle and want to have it featured on TV please email me: matt@attaboytv.com with your availability over the next two weeks. Preferably if you could send some pics of your car it would be appreciated. We would require you and your car for the one day and would cover travel expenses and provide a DVD of the finished programme after it has aired.

We look forward to hearing from you.

The Attaboy Team

I seem to remember reading about the one used in the Cadburys Dairy Milk adverts was returned to it's owner in one hell of a state.

I would want some serious assurances before I considered offering my car to anyone, and then I'd still say no.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I bet the boys with the oak greens are wetting themselves at the prospect.

Now they can add "as seen on TV" to "rare".

Kerrching!

Well, if it's gonna be on telly to "represent" aaalllright!   :rolleyes: the Mk2 Golf GTI, then lets get the best example we can.

We can start by ruling out all the 8 valves.

But the eight valve is the classic mk2 ... 16v s and big bumpers were a last ditch attempt to keep selling the car and are only bought by peeps with small willies :smiley: :smiley:
