Two owners D2 4.2 S8, 160,407 miles. MOT till 25-OCT-2020.
The good: It has been my daily driver for 19 years. Always professionally maintained. It is still a beautiful drive. Why am I selling?: I am getting older faster than the car is. I need to own at least one D3 V10 while I can still enjoy driving such a beast. (You might see it lurking behind the D2 in the photos) The bad: Scratched passenger side rear wing, radio is dead, rear tyres are the only unfixed advisories on the last MOT. Neither external mirror retracts. The ugly: It is Cat C registered. Insurer wrote it off after a tiny low speed bingle, quoting £5000 repair. I bought the wreck and it was back on the road with £150 of front mudguard and suspension arm from Prestige. Repair history: I fairly recently (2017) had the wheels powder coated and I changed the mottled windscreen for a much nicer one from Prestige about the same time. The beast from the East storm awarded me a new boot lid, one of the mirrors and some light panel work. Much longer ago I needed a gearbox rebuild, and a ECU repair after it flooded with aircon condensate. Price: £1000 to forum readers, as a gesture of thanks to how helpful the forum and its sponsors have been. I know it is silly, but I rather like the idea of it finding a good home. This does not seem to be going anywhere. I have to be out of the country for 5 weeks starting soon. I would like to hear even vague expressions of interest. It will have to go on e-bay or be scrapped when I get back. Please get in touch. I'm finally back home. I spent the best part of the £1000 I am asking on another ticket, because I was going nowhere for months on the return half of my first one. So this is now last chance saloon for owning this lovely machine for chump change. Location: SK22. Contact: elliott@yrl.co.uk, +44 7454 402200 Last edited by ElliottRo; 17th May 2020 at 09:46 PM. Reason: I am back from AU and this car is still with me. |

That car needs to stay here. Are you sure you do not want to clock up the 20 years of ownership first??
And I admire your approach to passing it on to a loving home. That car still has much love to give ![]()

If ever there was a reason to unfriend someone, it's that!
A bloke up the road was after an S4 Cabriolet for ages, ended up getting a 645ci. Had it 3 months, traded it in for an S4 Cabriolet saying the beemer was the dullest, most boring car he's ever had.

You can't really do that to your children though, all 3 of mine have gone to the dark side, though only one runs on Satan's fuel....
