You haven't been down here recently!
The Aussie $ is buying about 55p at present.
My S8's were around $220,000 new, so that's £121,000!
At the roughly 60p value of the dollar at the time that's £132,000...
What were they there - £70,000odd?

2002 Audi S8 - Project
Replacement head coming arrived thanks to MJ
Silver with Black interior. All features as the '01, with the 'S' mode auto shifter. Dodgey rear tint (need to find a way to get rid of that).
Family:
2009 Volvo XC90 V8 R Design - has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!

Sold:
1997 Audi A4 - Hamilton's Club Sport, Achat Grey (will miss the old girl)
