This is exactly right. I've had someone bugging me for ages on Facebook wanting to buy an S8, so of course I showed him this one. He immediately dismissed it because he wants a 'Final Edition' which, when quizzed on that, simply means he wants one on 20s rather than purple seats.

I suggested I could supply a set of 20s to go on this very car, but no. Totally not interested. It makes no sense at all.

I think the Avus 1 on the PF suit it much better than the Avus 2 suits the FL. The Avus 1 seem to look larger on the car for some reason, maybe because they have softer edges, but so few PFs still have their original wheels they are becoming a rarity. Mine does have its originals, luckily, which hopefully will add value at sale time.
