I’m on my third D2 and second S8. I’ve got just under 180K on the clock and the gearbox, which has had a proper gearbox oil service 3 or 4 times, is good. I’ve never got more than 24mpg, but then I don’t drive at 50mph on the motorway with the cruise control on!
This one is definitely not an FE, but the FE spec wasn’t very good so it’s just a bit of ‘snobbery’ really!
But go ahead and buy one - they’re great fun as cool as you can get for the money by miles.
