944 Turbo Needed for Wheeler Dealer.

Post by John Oakes »

Hi,

Had a guy on the phone me a few nights ago looking for a good 944 Turbo for the Wheeler Dealer show that is on Sky. Do not to much information but is emailing me with more this week.
They have a 1986 944 in Grey. So looking for a car that is NOT Grey. The show is filmed in Halifax I believe. If you watch the show they like to have a finished car to look at. Not sure if they will be driving it but will ask that question later.
Please let me know asap with a few details and possibly a picture or two, please email me direct on john.oakes3@btinternet.com
I will post more information when I find out more.

Regards
John Oakes

Up date of details.

Attaboy TV are looking for a perfect example of a Porsche 944 Turbo, to feature in a brief sequence of their new series of Wheeler Dealers.

One of the cars featured on the programme this year will be a Porsche 944 Turbo, in Grey, circa 1987, so we're looking for a similar car, of roughly the same age (give or take a couple of years) and in perfect order, mechanical and cosmetic but not in Grey.

The sequence should last aproximately 1 minute and will take about half a day to film. We hope to start filming these sequences later in February.
We are based in Dean Clough in Halifax and would like to keep shooting as local as possible. We have been looking at locations between Harewood and Bolton Abbey.

Unfortunately, as we are working to a tight budget, we cannot offer any fee for this but we will cover any petrol expenses and provide a DVD copy of the programme - and whoever gets involved will get to see thier car on TV.

If you can help us to find such a car, we would be most grateful.
Thanks for your time.
