What kind of spam is this?

Got an email message (to an address I no longer use, nevertheless it came through) informing me that my car is booked in for a service on such and such a date etc. I have never had contact with the particular garage. The sender's name is that of a known author (Andrew Adebowale).

Needless to say I have not responded - perhaps the idea is that I will reply to say this is an error?

Yeah, it is probably farming for email addresses. You reply, then go on a database of valid email addresses all ready for spamming/selling.
