Nice
Is than an FE?
Very similar looking to my FE S8 (of which I'm still meaning to take some pictures and post here when I get chance), externally at least anyway ... same age, wheels, etc. Mine's pearl black, which I often find looks deep blue in some lighting. Yours looks a deep purple in that shot ... or is that just the lighting (or my screen?). Also, my S8 has the pale/cream interior.
Funny thing is, after owning my D2 for over 4 years now, I came very close to replacing it with a D3 this year. For a number of reasons I eventually chose not to; instead I spent over £3K on the D2 to restore it to its former glory. I just couldn't bring myself to part with it and, it's been such a good car, it seemed crazy to spend thousands more just to have something a few years newer.
But the main reason for me was that I just haven't taken to the shape of the later '8s. Certainly they're more modern looking -- sexier even -- but they're somehow soulless next to an old D2. When you see a D2 it has a distinguished presence. It stands out from the crowd and the size of the car is obvious. D3s, on the other hand, I frequently pass without noticing; they can be easily mistaken for a smaller car, I find.
EDIT: Ah, just released you bought this:

Very nice
So, more of a deep (ming) blue with a hint of purple then.
