You're welcome . One like this would have been my ideal S8 replacement:

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-det...02201141357310

as it's:

1) - The estate (I prefer the styling, as well as the space...),
2) - In Laurin & Klement spec (pretty much on a par with D2 S8 quality), and
3) - Got a decent sized engine (though admitted more A8 than s8...)

Looking at this example again reminds me just how much I liked it when I went to look at one

The other one I really want is the V8 C63, but I don’t think I can stomach £600 road tax 🤣
I had a later gen C63 with the biturbo 4.0 litre V8, probably the best engine I've ever owned myself, would have another if it weren't for the awful interior build quality (which is why it got sold on so quickly)
