New Corsa Pop Art TV Advertisment
The new Corsa TV advertisement communicates Corsa’s style credentials from a fun and fresh angle, featuring Charlotte Gunn in the kiss scene and gallery wall of the TV advertisement.
Since launching in April, thousands have ‘Pop Arted’ their images on the Corsa Facebook Fan page. There they could Pop Art their image and drop it onto the gallery wall, post it on their own page and even pass it on to other Facebook friends and get them to Pop Art themselves too. Five runners up each won a two foot square canvas of their Pop Arted image to display in full glory at home.
Created and managed by Marvellous, the Corsa Pop Art Facebook Campaign was launched in April 2010 with over 6,000 entrants. To date there are now over 21,500 fans of Vauxhall Corsa on Facebook.
To view the making of the updated TV advertisement featuring the winner visit: www.facebook.com/vauxhallcorsa.

Murketts team up with Ridgeons for great New Movano sucess
They also discovered that the exclusive Movano launch pack promotion has been extended and as a consequence, any New Movano purchased before the end of September will come with no less than £1,400 worth of very desirable extras and options completely free, including air conditioning, a trip computer, Bluetooth connectivity and a vehicle alarm.
The new Movano comes in a number of body styles including panel van, doublecab, chassis cab, crew cab and platform cab. The engine choices include 100ps, 125ps, 146ps versions of the diesel 2.3-litre CDTI 16V in either Euro 4 or Euro 5 guise. All engines are mated to a 6 speed manual gearbox.
The new Movano’s payload is between 1176kg and 2254kg with the floor length ranging from 2.58m to 4.38m. Its load space volume is up to 17m3.
Cambridge's famous Hot Sausage Company was also on site and proved to be a popular hit with all the local tradesmen with over 100 sausages being given away by Murketts.
Also at the event, Murketts had on display one of their great value pre-registered 10-plate vans. The Astravan 1.7 CDTi Sportive proved to be extremely popular for the smaller business users and with a massive 28% discount currently on the van, making it an impressive investment at just £10,995 + VAT on the road. This was an opportunity not to be missed!
For more information about the brand new Vauxhall Movano please contact Murketts of Cambridge on 137 Histon Road, Cambridge, CB4 3JD or telephone 01223 706706.

Beat the VAT man at Murketts
This equates to an increase of 2.5 per cent on the price of every new vehicle sold in the UK, or a rise of £375 in the price of an ‘average’ £15,000 car. Indeed, Murketts has calculated the expected price increases on some of their most popular Vauxhall models, such as the Agila 1.0 Expression which will rise by an estimated £185, or the range topping Insignia VXR Sports Tourer Nav, which will go up by £713 with next year’s VAT increase.
“The important point is that if you want your new Vauxhall to be purchased at the current 17.5% rate then it will need to be ordered very soon, as you will pay the VAT on delivery of the car, not on order. This means that orders taken late in 2010 will almost certainly be fulfilled in 2011 at the higher VAT rate,” explains Murketts sales manager Graham Radley.
“So now is really the time to enjoy great value and a great new car. Simply look through the offers on our web site, choose the one that appeals the most and then contact your nearest branch of Murketts using the telephone numbers provided. It really is as simple as that!” he added.

Space race for the new Vauxhall Meriva
And local Vauxhall dealership Murketts of Stapleford started a space race all of its own by using the event to launch the roomy new Meriva for the benefit of staff and parents at the school.
The pupils didn’t miss out either, with free Meriva windmills and competitions for the young children, with star raffle prizes and a family ticket to Thorpe Park to be won. The tickets are worth over £100 and all money raised will be donated to the school, promises Murketts. And the best news is that the lucky family gets to travel to the leisure park in style in a new Meriva for the weekend.
Pricing for Vauxhall’s new Meriva starts at a competitive £12,995 OTR for the 100PS 1.4 Expression model, making it a highly attractive proposition for families on the look-out for an MPV for all the family. With a larger wheelbase offering added practicality for buyers – especially those with young children – the Meriva has moved out of the small-MPV and into the five-seater compact-MPV class, where it’s set to raise the bar for innovation thanks to standard features like FlexDoors and FlexSpace.

SCHOOL’S OUT – FOR THE NEW MERIVA
Pricing for Vauxhall’s new Meriva starts at a competitive £12,995 OTR for the 100PS 1.4 Expression model, making it a highly attractive proposition for families on the look-out for an MPV for all the family. With a larger wheelbase offering added practicality for buyers – especially those with young children – the Meriva has shifted out of the small-MPV and into the five-seat compact-MPV class, where it’s set to raise the bar for innovation, thanks to standard features like FlexDoors and FlexSpace.
And no matter what the model, the Meriva packs a long list of generous equipment. A CD 400 CD player with MP3 format and aux-in/USB, graphic information display, heated door mirrors, electric windows and electronic park brake means that no Meriva can be classed as ‘poverty-spec’. But even in mid-range Exclusiv specification, the Meriva comes with air conditioning, cruise control, curtain airbags and the clever FlexRail storage/convenience feature, at a starting price of £16,650 for the 100PS 1.4-litre version. But for the ultimate in MPV luxury, the SE model holds all the cards. Standard features like a fixed Panoramic full-glass roof with electronic sunshade, dark tinted rear windows and front foldable tray tables on front seat backs will leave families wanting for little, though with a starting price of £17,430, it still offers excellent value.
Entry price for diesel models is £16,875 for the S trim 1.3 CDTi 75PS, and extend to £21,255 for the range-topping SE 1.7 CDTi 100PS automatic. From launch, all 1.7 CDTi versions will come with automatic gearboxes, with a six-speed manual becoming available soon after.

Murketts move it – with Movano
Murketts Vauxhall has teamed up with the well-known timber and builders merchants in Nuffield Road, on the Trinity Hall Industrial Estate, to promote the popular new Movano van. Early risers will be able to drive away a Movano with no less than £1,400 worth of desirable extras and options including air conditioning, trip computer, Bluetooth connectivity and a vehicle alarm.
As if that’s not enough of an incentive, Ridgeons will be offering Bob and any other builders the opportunity to bag six sacks of cement for the price of five on the day.
And if you get there nice and early, you can tuck into a delicious breakfast of hotdogs while you are taking a closer look at the Movano. Tell them Bob the Builder sent you!

Murketts’ Masterfit summer check is a ray of sunshine
The Murketts Summer Safety Check offers motorists the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their car has been checked for defects and signs of possible trouble ahead by their MasterFit technicians. They also benefit from having their car’s engine oil, screen wash, coolant and brake fluid levels topped up and tyres inflated to the correct pressures.
If that’s not enough, Murketts’ MasterFit technicians also carry out an air conditioning efficiency check. This involves inserting a probe into one of the ventilation ducts while the air conditioning is running to see whether the temperatures you select on the dial are reaching the cabin’s interior. What you can be sure of is that the air will be fresh, because Murketts is offering each Summer Safety Check customer a cabin pollen filter completely free of charge. Normally costing £21, Murketts will fit it at no extra charge.
Trevor Dew, after sales manager of Murketts, commented: “Regular checking of your car’s condition as well as sticking to regular service intervals is an essential part of owning a vehicle. The excellent value offered by our MasterFit Summer Safety Check with Top Ups means that Vauxhall owners have the ideal opportunity to have their car checked by an expert and drive into summer with extra peace of mind.”
For further information contact any of our four Murketts Vauxhall branches in Cambridge, Royston, Huntingdon and Stapleford.
Summary
• Summer Safety Check with Top-Ups for just £30
• Includes air conditioning efficiency check
• Free cabin pollen filter including fitting worth £21

Green drivers wanted – by Murketts
Kicking off on April 1, Vauxhall will be looking for UK drivers to take part in a pan-European competition. The contest will set out to find the driver who can squeeze the most mileage from one of Vauxhall’s ecoFLEX models. But first, entrants will need to prove their eco-mettle in an on-line quiz, before proving their virtual driving and fuel-saving skills on an internet simulator.
The very best eco driver from the UK will then be invited to a multi-day event at the Sturup Raceway in Malmö, Sweden, this summer along with entrants from 19 other participating countries. Here, contestants will receive professional tuition in a range of ecoFLEX models and the greenest driver overall will be named the ‘ecoFLEX Experience Champion’.
And the prize? The winner will be awarded one of the very first Ampera production cars, which will hit the UK Market at the start of 2012. Contestants can register immediately for the ecoFLEX Experience by visiting: http://www.ecoflex-experience.co.uk/.
Murketts currently have some fantastic Swappage deals on the pocket friendly EcoFlex modles. The new Corsa Energy is available from just £8,784. Pop into any of our four Murketts branches in Cambridge, Huntingdon, Royston and Stapleford for more details.
