On occasion I have been invited to see a few new cars in a market research capacity. Where possible I have managed to get a few PH chums in along the way.

An opportunity has come up where a car manufacturer is seeking input on a new high end SUV.

They are looking for owners of cars from 2010 or newer that would have cost >£100k, usual suspects include,

Merc S class, ML63. GL, Bentley, Rolls, RangeR Autobiography etc... So they don't have to currently own an SUV.

Apparently the cars have to have been owned from new, at some point they will ask to view a V5 so the likes of me don't get to blag the event!

The viewing of the new Uber SUV will be in Munich, flights leave LHR on a Saturday morning, with viewing in the afternoon, then put up in a 5* hotel overnight to return on the Sunday with a sum of cash paid in hand for your time and input.

If anyone is interested and actually owns such a car! Please drop me an email and I will send you the contact details of the organisers.

Don't worry, from previous experience it is all about market research and no sales push whatsoever.

A few PH members have gone on these over the years, I personally get nothing out of this (which is fine) just kept on the list in case a suitable opportunity comes along.

I don't suppose a Discovery 4 counts, but if it does I'm interested.

Hi Jeremy, hope you are well.....

I wasn't too upset, I couldn't imagine how I was going to say anything positive about an SUV! smile

Sure, if you can prove you paid more than £100k for it, they will no doubt take you on and likely have you sectioned when you get back to the UK!

Seems to be going OK, a few from the PH congregation seem to be involved.
