Modified Citroen Saxo Mk1 Needed for TV Appearance
Hi all,
My name is Matt, and I work for a television production company called Attaboy TV. We produce a car breaking show for the National Geographic Channel where two teams buy a vehicle that is beyond repair / declared non road legal, strip it for parts and then sell the parts on. We like to follow the journey of the parts into other vehicles so you can see that even if one car is broken the parts have helped vehicles that are still going.
For one of the new episodes we're breaking a Citroen Saxo VTS (Mk1).
At the start of each show, we film an introductory sequence we call a “Pristine.” In the pristine sequence we film with a pristine version of the car we are about to break. This allows us to introduce the car to the audience and show to them how good the marque can look. I wanted to get in touch with your Club, in the hope that you may be able to help us source a “pristine” version of a Citroen Saxo Mk1.
We’re looking for an owner with a clean, working, and great looking Saxo. In particular we would love the car to be modified in some way externally. The owner would need to be happy for us to drive their vehicle on camera, and preferably live around the London area as this is where filming will be. However we can offer accommodation if somebody wants to be involved and come from further afield. Essentially we're looking for an owner who is proud of their vehicle and wants the opportunity to show-off their prized possession on national television. We will cover all expenses and provide a DVD of the programme after the show has aired.
It’s quite short notice for filming - we're looking to do it Friday 03rd May. Do you know of anyone who might be able to help?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Matt

Should make some comical viewing of the astronomical prices you "sell" parts for on the show. Can't stand the cunts on it.

If its a body kitted 90s style car you're after, you won't find many on here.
The scene has completely changed, it's all about subtle modifications and keeping the original look of the car with slight changes.

Would probably brighten up the show.
Please for the love of god tell me this isn't for another series of strippers cars for cash.
If so, don't bother.

Not the best choice of cars to strip for cash really is it? Worth fuck all even for a running MOT'd and taxed one, let alone various parts that incidentally no one wants.
Plus people are just going to baulk when they see some horrendously kitted saxo but then I guess the show is only good for the comedy value

Can just see it now,
The programme saying you can use the 1.4 ECU with the VTS engine and then the buyer agreeing a price of £950
