A journalist for Practical Performance Car magazine is looking for a nice 480 Turbo, for their "Budget Blaster" section. Due to be in print in June, but they want to find one ASAP as they may need to bring it forward to May's edition.
Here's some of the discussion so far:
So, this should be a clean, straight UNMODDED car, must be a Turbo, and preferably in sound photgraphic condition in a bright colour (although not essential).I'm putting a piece
together about the Volvo 480 turbo. It's for a regular feature called Budget
Blaster; every month we run a buyers guide covering an interesting car that is
quick, fun to own and inexpensive.
Would the club be able to help me find a car for the photo shoot? I'm based in
Lincoln and the magazine is based in Stamford so it would be ideal if the car
were in the East Midlands.
The feature is designed with static and detail shots so weather permitting it
can be wrapped up in half an hour or so, which is less of an inconvenience for
the owner.
So, lets run this as a competition: If you are intersted, are nearby or want to travel for it and can fit a tight deadline, then send me the following:
- Photos of car, inside and out
- What it cost
- What you use the car for
- The most interesting thing you did with the car
- Why you think you should be the one for the mag
- Suitable email address and phone number to be contacted if you go forward
Send all of this to me at the following email address:
iwantmy480inamagazine@northernscum.org.uk
Closing date for this mini-competition: Friday 11th April for ME to get entries, with a view to the winner being available shortly afterwards (perhaps the next week or week after) - I will select 3 or 4 possible candidates, and then forward them to the magazine and they will make the final choice.
So get out there and start polishing!
Any questions can be sent to the above address, although I will try to be on here as much as possible, but no guarantees
Have fun!
