Thanks all, you are no help at all
Oh well things have progressed and i have a couple of options to consider lets see what comes up over the next few days. Just been offered a matt silver one ...floret silver...doesnt do it for me i am old fashioned and like shiny cars.

On the depreciation front most of these "types" of car depreciate like the clappers even Porsches i have had one. i just like big comfy saloons i guess. You pays your money and takes your choice. But they appear to have a bit of a deal on them if you can find a dealer with stock or one heading their way. I never think of my daily motor as an investment i just take the view i pay to drive a certain type of motor and whoever gets it three years down the road will get a cracker as I do look after them.
Also this new tax change comes in from 1st april so the drivers of these motors will get whacked again to help fund the treasury .....won't be used for filling in the potholes, even Teslas will be caught in the new value added car tax. All seems to fly in the face of the previous systems and now penalise people for spending their hard earned cash
Anyway i will keep updating this thread on what i get offered, i am genuinely sad to posibly say goodbye to my v8d though its a truly stunning car and after a year of owning her she hasnt missed a beat or wanted for an ad blue fill up
As George Best once said
'I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered".
