Good spot, very nice colour, and very well prepped for sale, almost 5*Classics in style - and priced the same! You're right about the wheels, surely the net cost of swapping these (nice) wheels to S8 wheels wouldn't be much, and would increase the authenticity of this car?

I must admit I saw the advert and thought the car was overpriced and scruffy.

All the effort on the photos but the car is missing the front grills, damaged rear bumper, wrong wheels, damp damaged front headlights and general not that great.

Default s8
Thats my point....an enthusiast would want original s8 wheels in the least. But still someone is expecting to get at least 4k for it.

So wer would u put the price of an s8 with originals wheels as well....and without the issues mentioned above....

Personally, quite a bit lower than any of the owners would.....

I wonder who will take the bait first?

I think you're right, prices are rising, for the reasons I noted in an earlier post. I'd say a max of £5k for a mint PF S8, or £8k for either a very well specced FL S8 or FE S8 provided there is "gearbox peace of mind". But mine is worth more than that to me...

Both bumpers damaged, not just rear. Rear tyres both different and different to the front, both front might be the same but hard to work out in pictures.
