Isuzu D-Max, Pickup of Choice for TV Series Car SOS - The Auto Channel (blog)
The third-series of the hugely-popular TV show sees bargain-finding petrol-head Tim Shaw and master mechanic Fuzz Townshend back on the road restoring much loved, but neglected, motors to their original glory for truly deserving owners. Fuzz Townshend says of the new series, “A working day on Car SOS often means spending a long time in the Isuzu D-Max – filming sequences when collecting or returning classic cars means that Tim and I can often spend the whole day in the cab. The wide, load-swallowing rear easily accepts the most bulky car components we need to carry and the D-Max's towing capabilities are outstanding. Car SOS is National Geographic Channel’s number one programme across Europe, attracting a 200% increase in average viewership for the broadcaster. In the UK, the first episode of Car SOS will air on National Geographic Channel in 2015, before being repeated on Channel 4’s More4 channel. Isuzu has sold more than 3,000 units of its D-Max pick-up in the UK since the start of 2014. a 26% uplift in year-on-year sales. Source: www.theautochannel.com
