QP Video at Autotrader

[Sommi]

Hi All

Continuing from the thread here about Autrtrader requiring a QP for a video shoot.
Autotrader have now posted a video here summarizing what its all going to be about. The QP is to fit in a bracket of "If you are prepared to pay a few grand more than 15K" so will be compared in their last video eventually. Hopefully it will be all good.

The team was very good and sent a little cameo reel of my car which i have Dropboxed here . It is about 500 MB so please download on to a PC rather than a phone or tablet. I presume I can't youtube it as its copyright material.

Where was that filmed? Looks very similar to where I took mine


These sort of videos always make me want that car!

 

[Trev Latter]

Looks like Millbrook?

Yes. This is Longcross Studios in Weybridge, Surrey. They have done some pretty impressive movie shoots here: http://www.longcrossfilmstudios.com/index.php/productions

Yes that is where I went, did they let you drive? They let me do a couple of Laps

This was for a tv show on national geographic

Yes. I got to drive most of the time and one of the presenters drove it for a lap or two to do the inside commentary shots. Was a lot of fun and had to make way for some McLaren P1 special editions being tested every once in a while. Good experience overall and lots of attention.

That looks beautiful, I like how he comments on the exhaust note but fails to mention it cost over 2k, anybody buying one is going to be disappointed theirs doesn't sound like that, did they know it had a Larrini on it

Nice video of a nice Car.

I just want my bid accepted on one of these soon and I'm into one like a flash! Cannot wait!

To be fair Wack they sound good out of the box and a simple X pipe mod for £250-300 will get it sounding nearly as good as this one.

Brilliant.......as is the car....

 

[dickygrace]

Looks really good, whoever detailed it did a good job.

 

[Sommi]

Thanks all. I do love it to bits.

I did mention to the presenter Andy that the fitted system was a complete Larini end to end and costed in the range of 5k including fitting. HR acknowledged the car was much above the price point and may be that's why doesn't bring this up in his piece.
They were reasonably shaken by the sound.

Sounds ace and looks fantastic. Voted for the Toyota - not.

Such a load on car for 15k.....What else could you get with so much style for that money.
