That colour is absolutely stunning :D.

Looks like a reasonable spec as well.

Well worth a look and in the best colour (but I'm biased).

If it's as clean inside as out and it's all genuine, I'd go for it.

That colour is awesome in the flesh, and you could swap most, if not all of your interior mods across.

Its got to be worth a look, but with caution.
I viewed one, same colour, outside Leicester March last year. Mileage was similar and it needed the auto sorting, but the deal buster for me was the lack of alignment between the doors and also the rear bumper being out of alignment where its supposed to follow the lne of the rear arches. Sounded a tad rattly on cold start up too, but I have a feeling this is not so unusual.
I like the colour. By the way the interior on the one I saw was pale grey.
If I remember correctly it was on for about £5k

Just dipping my toe in the water - I *might* consider moving my 8 on shortly..... :-(

Its doing very little these days, and its a waste TBH. I cant begin to calculate the man hours that I put into its interior, and there are still a few small maintenance jobs that need doing - which will be done before hand.

With the buliding work going on right now, I need a crappy old 4x4 with a big boot more than a luxury saloon, I dont drive the 8 for fear of getting it dirty !

It needs a good home, with lots of wash and wax, and not building site dust and crap flying around all over it all the time.

There is not another one like it worldwide I'm sure.... Stealth A8 running full S8 config, Individual rear seats, 240vac supply under front armrest, USB 5v power inside armrest, LPG converted, DVD in rear, Alcantara/leather pack, Solar roof, blinds, bose, RNS-E, Bluetooth Handsfree, reversing camera and loads more I'm sure.

All this, and its in the 'old' car tax bracket so will never cost much to tax.

Technically, on the V5 its still an A8 too, so there are a number of options when it comes to insuring it I guess, even though its running full S8 engine / running gear.

It has loads of history (from both the A8, and the S8 donor) and crucially it has been down to Ben at AVP who gave it a pretty solid thumbs up.

It wont be cheap, but it will be absolutely the greatest D2 money can buy, I'm sure of it..... :(

2 Goats, a chicken and a years supply of horse manure for your new garden?

One of my fears when buying another D2 was that Ian would put his for sale the next week. Defiantly going to hold out now, just encase you decide to sell. +++

amar i am sure if you asked ian nicely he would let you have an extended test drive first. then you could bring it to germany with us +++
seriously i think you too should have a good chat. if the car is to go to a good home then it could not go to a better one than yours amar
