Good afternoon everyone
I hope this post is in the right place and isn't in breach of forum rules. Please let me know if it isn't/is (so to speak) and I'll move or delete correspondingly!
I'm posting here because I'm the bloke responsible for used car content in Autocar magazine, and I'm in need of a Mk3 Scirocco for a day. We want to run a 'Half-Price Heroes' feature, the purpose of which is to show what used cars one can buy for half the price of a new car. The Scirocco is one of the cars we've chosen to feature, and of course we're looking for a tidy example we can use for photography in our studio in Feltham.
The photoshoot will take place on Tuesday 2 May 2017, and we'd be able to arrange with the owner a morning or afternoon time slot if time is short or if they're coming from far away. We'll also offer lunch and a full tank of fuel in return for their trouble.
A couple of catches: ideally need a pre-facelift car, and a non-R (sorry, R owners!). What's more, the car should look reasonably clean, tidy and unmodified (factory option wheels are fine!)
If you have such a car, or know of someone who does, and would be interested in attending our shoot, please let me know, either by email -- alex.robbins (at) haymarket.com -- or by dropping me a message.
Thanks for your time, apologies for cluttering up your forum, and thanks in advance for your help!

You guys gave us a big boost back in about 2010 when Matt Saunders brought his Viper green long termer to a meet at Gaydon.
Sadly I can't help as I sold my unmolested '09 reg a couple of months ago. Hopefully someone else can.

Thanks Kev - sorry you can't help but the reply is appreciated! Didn't know Matt had had a Viper long-termer, I must admit - I'll have to chat to him about that. Got a hankering for a Viper Green 2.0 GT myself!

It's got to be a 2.0 TSI and one with the updated steering wheel!
