Had this emailed today, I'm not interested as I'm not letting 3 strangers drive my Charger :roll: , one of you maybe though :o . If you are interested Emma a call, details are below.

Hi Derek,

Hope you're well! I'm a journalist writing today from Classic Cars magazine, where we're currently looking for a second-generation B-body Dodge Charger for an upcoming feature. I wanted to ask whether any Mopar Muscle AssociationUK members might consider making their Charger available for a photoshoot.

The article we're hoping to put together - called The List - is a regular fixture of the magazine, in which we aim to connect readers with one of their dream cars for the day. The feature runs to seven pages and 2500 words, with professional photography throughout. I'd be more than happy to supply copies of recent List features, to show you how the piece looks in print.

The shoot would take around five to six hours and both I - the writer - and the reader whose automotive dream we're profiling would need to spend some time driving the car. I've recently put together similar features with a Ferrari 308 GT4, a Rolls-Royce Mulliner Park Ward and a Lamborghini Urraco: on each occasion, the total distance covered was around or below 50 miles.

I should also mention that the publisher has an agreed value, fully comprehensive industry insurance policy to cover the day. Please find the cover note and editorial testing note attached. Both the reader - a lifelong enthusiast who's owned several classics - and I also have previous experience with various valuable and historic cars.

Though we would ideally hope to bring the shoot together within the next month, we can be flexible with dates and locations to suit any interested owner. Of course, we would be only too happy to provide a copy of the magazine on publication and a high resolution selection of the feature photography. Naturally, we'll also travel to the car's location for the shoot itself and cover any expenses on the day.

Should you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to reach me at this e-mail address or on 07443223696.

Thanks for your time and consideration,

Emma.

This month's issue (January) of Classic Cars has the Charger feature.
They provided a 'survivor' yellow 69 with 2 bbl 318. Complete with dented front bumper & valance.
As is often the case they found a car that's for sale. Offered by 'Brooklyn Auto Services' for just £43k.
:shock:
Rego BWB 52G in case anyone knows the car..

I first saw it at Sywell "Pistons and Props", and it was on display at the NEC this year.

Ah yes. 'Paddy's GTX''. Well, Satellite.
New owner lives around Barnet way i think, still a lovely looking car.

Sad to see charger prices so high even for a knackered one.
