A Linkedin contact sent this to me looking for candidates. Not a bad paying position in a fairly interesting industry (esp if you're a car enthusiast). If anybody's interested, PM me your Linkedin profile and I'll put you in contact with the recruiter. The chap mentioned that it was urgent,.. so chances to get at least a call to chat should be high.
