Default Anywhere to hire A8 for a day or two?

As my S8 is awaiting a new hydraulic hose for oil cooler->gearbox I need a car for this Friday 27th April.

Does anyone know where I can hire an A8 or similar for a day or two please?

Live in Oxfordshire and had a look at Dream Cars in Abingdon but most things that interest me are booked out.

Preferably 4-door with a decent amount of room in the back for two adults?

Thanks & kind regards,
-=Glyn=-

You could hire mine, but you're miles away.

A lot of the national car hire companies have an "Executive Car" offering these days so you could try phoning a few of them to see what Mercs/Audis/Jags they have, also try Audi main dealers as a lot of them are able to hire you a car assuming they have one available

Smile Off the wall suggestion

Would you be interested in BMW 740i Sport Individual if I buy my S8 this week. Lots of room in the back but a bit slower than an S8!

Pictures in newbies (richardracer).

Regards

Richard

Thanks for the replies guys;

Nollywood: How far is far?

Architex_mA8tey: never even considered an Audi dealer!

S4_Sat: Cheeky but I like your style...

richardracer: Don't know anything about BMW (or Merc) for that matter but do like 8's so thanks for the offer but I'll pass all the same...

Thanks & kind regards,

And if I had known it would have saved me buying a W12 to go out on Friday!

I could have blagged one of yours!

Kind regards,
