How can I tell if it's a Final Edition model??
Guys
I was looking at this S8 on Pistonheads and it's been sold as a Final Edition model: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2842734.htm Thanks to Jayzee posting the ad on Spotted Online, IT and Singh both confirmed that it wasn't an FE model. So what things should I be looking out for to confirm it is a FE model?? Easiest thing is it post ad on here and for you guys to tell me!! Thanks James

To summarise Amars post, skipping all the ins and outs, fundamentally a genuine Final Edition model only came in 6 colour schemes:
- Avus Silver - Brilliant Red leather upholstery & controls - Avus Silver - Mauve (purple/violet) leather upholstery & controls - Ebony Black - Silver Grey leather upholstery & controls - Ebony Black - Brilliant Red leather upholstery & controls - Misano Red - Silver Grey leather upholstery & controls - Aqua Blue - Morning Dew leather upholstery & controls If its any other colour, it isnt a final edition, or the colours have been changed. Note Avus silver is a bluey sort of silver, quite distinct. But note Avus silver paint only came with Red or Mauve leather, not black, so any car with Silver paint and ordinary leather aint a final... BTW, imo opinion, the best combo out of the lot has got to be James' Ebony Black with Silver Grey ...... (no, not platinum Amar, I confess I was wrong)

No, thats Avus silver, which is what makes it all so odd.. !! It has many signs of being a final edition, including a valid colour combo.
The number plate *could* be a cherished one, so it maybe could be a 2002 car, but it should have a phone aerial at the rear, which it doesnt. That could have been removed I suppose, but its still a bit odd to me....

ETA - "OV" is Milton Keynes reg mark, so an ex-Audi Head Office car, or some sort of demonstrator for the up-and-coming Final Edition? Just a thought... Bi-Xenons unusual for that year too. It is so difficult to tell from the blurry interior photo, but I'm damn sure that the gearbox on that one has sports mode.
