Hi folks,

 

Please accept my apologies if this is against forum etiquette or posted in the wrong place; I thought I'd found the most appropriate forum for this, but if not, please tell me to move it elsewhere!

 

My name's Alex, I'm the Used Car Editor for Autocar magazine, and I'm trying to find a bit of a unicorn. We need a Mk2 Octavia, preferably a 4x4 but a Scout would work too, to take part in a multi-car used car feature in the magazine. We'd need you and your car for a day on Friday 18 November, for photography at our photo studio in Feltham. I appreciate that's a little short notice, but if you can make it, you'd be helping me out vastly! You get the benefit of having your car immortalised in an issue of Britain's oldest existing car magazine, plus we'll brim your fuel tank for you and provide lunch on the day.

 

If you've such a car, you're available on that day and you're up for coming down to help us out, please drop me a line at alex.robbins [at] haymarket.com. 

 

Once again, apologies if this post breaches any forum rules, but as you can tell from the date involved, I'm rather pressed for time!

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

 

What age of car are you looking for - pre facelift or face lift?

 

I have a 2007 pre-FL 4x4 and may be interested but it's a fair way from me and I'd need to check availability etc...

Hi Skomaz, we don't mind whether it's pre- or post-facelift, but a 4x4 would be ideal! Can completely understand it's a long way for you to come though. I still haven't found an Octy for the feature, so if you are up for making the trip down we'd love to have you there. Drop me a line on the above email address to let me know. Make sure you arrive with an empty tank - we'll fill it up for you before you head home!
