It's not an FE and the 20s are not diamond cut, but TBH so what? That's just a minor cosmetic issue. Important to some of us, but not everyone.
Provenance and how it's been looked after are more important to a buyer at that level. it can be put back on (refurbished?) OEM 18s if necessary, I suspect the biggest problem will be finding good centre caps!
e.g. go back to a PF and look for centre caps for the original (much better IMHO) Avus 18s!

Edit: Sorry Marty, we're diverging from your advert. Hope this helps bump the price up!

Did you sort out the faulty steering rack?

That’s nice but £24k……. Maybe I need to think of selling……

Guys, interesting responses. Im not simply trying to double my money.

I bought it for £5400 after haggling him down significantly as the car had some significant issues. Car needed new rubber all round - £700, wheels needed refurbishment - £500. Both Cats were rattling - £700, timing belt hadnt been done, £2100 I was shocked at this one all Audi OEM which is great but expensive, steering rack was loose and needed all new tie-rods - £800, body work needed tidying up with a bonnet respray and other items £1000, front struts needed replacement £600.

The car has only done 87k and is now as it should be stunning and sorted.

I passed your ad on to someone I know who is looking to get back into an S8 D2.

For serious offer prices over £10k I expect there might be one or more longstanding members on here - with ebony black or other colours ;) - who would consider getting out of their D2 :ROFL:

theres another on AT just now HERE, 2 years older than this, 50k more miles and looking for more ££ not as nice as this i don't think

I'm sure that belonged to one of the forum members here, as the S8 UHT number plate is familiar looking.

Just had a quick check through my photos, and they were at the 2018 Annual meet. I also found a post on another forum by a former owner who had just purchased it, in 2015, and it had a gearbox rebuild done at around at 82k miles, but oddly not mentioned in the AutoTrader ad. Maybe they don't realise the significance.

Yes. Pete Proctor's old car which he had up for sale in July 2022 for £6.5k

Hmm...lots of speculative pricing atm: maybe it's the Spring weather.
