Led Zeppelin Jeep Partiot

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

RGVA, the UK’s leading vehicle branding company, are today launching the Limited Edition Led Zeppelin Jeep Patriot. Just seven of these exclusive 4×4s will ever be sold, each boasting a full range of refined extras, as well as stunning graphics that pay a wonderful tribute to one of the most highly regarded and documented bands.

To celebrate taking ownership of these remarkable pieces of history, RGVA are also providing 2 VIP TICKETS to see Led Zeppelin live at the O2 on Monday 10/12/07. The tickets will include a champagne reception and access to the after-show party at the O2 to complete the package.

Ian Calderwood, designer of the graphics that adorn the Jeeps said, “This is a great opportunity for true fans of one of the world’s greatest bands to own a piece of history. We really want to celebrate the concert at the O2 in style, and we’re pleased to be able to entertain the new owners at the event.”

When asked about the design, Ian commented, “The Jeep was chosen for its American ruggedness. The graphics complement the bold character of the car, whilst maintaining its prestige and I feel it reflects the personality of the band excellently.”

Head of Sales & Marketing for RGVA, Alison Smith, said, “This is an exciting project to be involved with. It combines a rare chance to see one of the world’s greatest bands, as well as a lasting souvenir of the event. We’re really looking forward to seeing who the new lucky owners will be!”

Demand for tickets to see Led Zeppelin has reached incredible levels, with the event promoters reporting 20 million applications for just 18,000 tickets.

Led Zeppelin were one of the biggest-selling rock groups of the 1970s, best known for songs like Whole Lotta Love and Stairway To Heaven.

Their last concert was in Berlin in 1980, two months prior to the death of drummer John Bonham.

The brand new Jeeps are available to purchase this week only for £34,860, and are the 2.0 CRD Sport editions, with Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, Two-Tone leather, privacy glass, 6-speed manual gearbox, Remote Central Locking, 4x Electric windows and a premium sound system.

JEEP PATRIOT IS THE GREENEST

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

The highly acclaimed Jeep® Patriot 2.0 CRD Sport, already winner of a green award, has been named 4×4 of the Year by specialist magazine 4×4 and MPV Driver.

The Patriot has been attracting customers from competitor brands such as Land Rover, Nissan and Honda, since its launch in the UK in June this year. With nearly 800 sales to date, the Patriot appeals to customers that want a vehicle that is capable on- and off-road but who also want the performance, handling, fuel economy and price of a family hatchback.

Commenting on the award which was announced in the December edition of the magazine, Bob Murray, Editor of 4×4 and MPV Driver, said: “The Jeep Patriot is quicker than the Land Rover Freelander 2, more able off-road than the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV 4, pumps out less CO2 than the Nissan X-Trail and has a boot around the size of the VW Tiguan’s.

“The Patriot is a cracking car to drive and promises to be a decent ownership proposition. It adds a welcome dash of adventure and US style to a sometimes bland SUV market. At last you can have your American pie …. and eat it, too!”

The publication recently awarded the Jeep brand the Gold Award in its Green 4×4 awards ahead of all other manufacturers of 4×4s and SUVs. They praised the Patriot as being the most economical 4×4 ever to wear the Jeep badge and the least polluting with their low CO2 emissions compared to manufacturers with smaller vehicles.

Simon Elliott, Managing Director of Chrysler UK, said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive this top award for our latest model in the Jeep range.

“This ‘Eco-Jeep’ offers motorists everything they look for when buying a car - a fuel-efficient diesel engine capable of nearly 43mpg, an impressive list of standard equipment, four-wheel drive technology, a spacious interior and high levels of safety and reliability all at a very affordable price.”
