Default My Dolphin Grey 2002 S8 for sale (possibly)

Hi All,

A change in my circumstances late last year has now changed my hobby car and third form of transport into now my main driver along side my push bike for commuting.

Because of this,the S8 is now not getting the tlc she has enjoyed and deserved in my ownership and so as the title says,I am very very reluctantly thinking of moving her on.

Some of you on here know the car,as it was owned by Ian of A8 parts, and Clive Harper from here,and in my ownership nothing has altered in its condition,dare I say a slight improvement as the wheels have been restored and shod with new tyres last September.Front Brembo discs and pads fitted whilst the wheels were being refurbed.

So,value,not sure really,all I know its possibly one of the highest speced ones,condition,hate using words like mint,immaculate, but I would say looks like a low mileage four year old car inside and out,mileage around 115k with years mot and taxed till October.

Will post all the spec and some photos later,I think there are some pictures on the owners meet threads from the ADI at Castle Coombe,just wondering what possible interest or thoughts on here guys.

Have to say after 2 years of ownership,its the only car I have owned that, still makes me smile and gives me a great deal of enjoyment,everytime I drive it.

Cheers

Rich

This is a rare opportunity to own probabaly one of the highest spec D2 S8s around. Here are more photos. It is one of the best around.

I have to say Rich that if I was looking I would be beating a path to your door as the car looked awesome at that meet and I love the colour combo and condition/features. Sorry to hear youre thinking of selling her, are you sure you dont want me to just look after her for you

*That* is the car I transferred by private plate on and off twice because I couldnt easily let it go....

I only let it go as I had an oppurtunity to pick up a well sorted, exteremely high spec RS6 at the time.

I dont regret trying the RS6 out, but that was such a nice S8 it really showed the RS6 up for being the uncomfortable, povert spec racing machine that it is.

That S8 was a huge spec from the factory. I added 20" wheels, Rear Screen entertainment, Solar roof and MSFW. Alcantara, leather pack, blinds, bose, TV was all factory kit......

I know theres a few others for sale at the moment, and they may be lower miles, but I spent good money on this, Clive will have pampered it for sure, and if Rich has looked after it too, even with 115K on the clock, if you're in the market for one, you'd be nuts not to give it a look over

Dolphin Grey on 20's looks the Mutz....... There aint so many of them about... Its a good job I already bought this D3, or I'd have a serious dilema brewing.....
