The cost of each print is £9.99 and this includes Postage and Packing, so if you fancy a very limited edition print and the chance to help fight Leukaemia please contact me to reserve yours now!.


At some point in the month we also hope to be able to offer a few of these prints, signed by Sir Ian "Beefy"Botham (The president of the LLR Charity).These will also be numbered from the run of 250, and will be framed. The price of these prints will be £25.


Volkswagen Driver Magazine are going to be running a story in the July Edition of the publication, and will be mentioning the sale of the prints in the article, so if you want to ensure that you get one please let me know asap.

Scirocco 50 LLR portrait now complete,and it looks awesome!

.
I got an email from Mike Jones today to tell me that he has finished the commissioned picture of Scarlett in her Scirocco 50 LLR "war paint", and my goodness it is indeed an excellent rendition of the car that I have grown so fond of over the last (almost!) 3 years.

As I mentioned before, Mike has had numerous pictures published in both VW and Audi Driver magazines over the years, and this one is apparently the first one he has done in almost 4 years!.


All that now remains to be done is for the picture to be reproduced as a print and then for Mike to Sign them and get them to me.We are planning to limit the run to a maximum of 250 (numbered) prints, and they will be sold for £5.00 each, £4.00 of which from each print will be donated to the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research Charity (£1.00 per copy to cover costs).


The story of how the Scirocco 50 LLR project came to be will hopefully be being featured in a soon to be published issue of VW Driver magazine, and this will be scheduled to be on sale a few weeks before the GTI International show at Bruntingthorpe in June this year.


Keep watching for details of how to get your own signed print of this car soon. Andy

Signed prints of Scirocco 50 LLR for sale soon!

.

After a chat with a very nice fella named Mike Jones recently I am happy to announce that he has agreed to do a commissioned drawing of Scarlett, the Scirocco 50 LLR car and her trailer.

Mike has great experience in this area, having been a technical illustrator for Volkswagen Driver and Audi Driver magazines.He is currently completing the commission and once done we will be producing a limited edition of prints which will be sold to raise money for the LLR charity.

It is hoped that some of these prints may also be signed by Sir Ian Botham...if we can catch up with him!

Mike has agreed to do help out in this way as he lost a very good friend to Leukaemia a few years ago.

The picture above is an example of Mike's work and gives you an idea of what an amazing artist this chap is.

Prints,when available in the next few weeks, will be priced at approx £5.00 Each + P&P. Numbers will be limited to between 100-200 and with the publication of the story of the Scirocco 50 LLR project in the Volkswagen Driver magazine,along with the offer of the print to it's readers, demand is expected to be high, so don't leave it too late to place an order! :-).

I will post more details on this blog when I have a copy of the drawing to show you.
