S8 Final Edition For Sale
Hi everyone.
Ive been looking at replacing my FL 2000 with a newer Final Edition and I'm going to see this one on Sunday. Seems to have loads of options including RNS E and it's a great colour. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3358814.htm Does anyone know this car? Cheers, Antony.

Don't know the car, but dolphin grey is a rare colour on the '8 and looks lovely - saw one at ADI and with diamond cut 20s it really set it off.
That isn't a Final Edition by the way, far too high spec for that! If you buy it, bank on having Lepsons refurb the wheels diamond cut - they just really suit it and painted rims wouldn't look half as good. It will cost, however. There's some nice options on that car - heated screen is pretty rare, all round dimming mirrors not that common either (check they've not gone bronze all over and that there's a distinctive ring around the edge to check the glass is actually self dimming on the external mirrors - they're north of £100 each!), plus the RNS-E with bluetooth is well worth having (got it in mine) Plenty of evidence of consistent maintenance which is nice. Be good to know that the box has had the oil changed regularly through its life, or that its been replaced fairly recently. Also whether the tyres are a decent brand. Hope its as good as it sounds  Adrian

A very nice example, never knew they were available (or could be specified) in Dolphin Grey.

I think the gurus here will confirm that Dolphin Grey was not an FE colour - but it's my favourite. I wish Mike was around to lend me his 'special sock'; this looks lovely! If I was shopping for an S8, I'd be going to see this one.

It's a buyers market - assuming it's a private sale and it's all as it should be then about £5k waved in his face should buy it. I can't imagine people will be queuing round the block.....
Bare in mind Amar/Ian's old A/S8 is priced around the same money with many toys but sounding like it needs at least some money spending on it if a cat has failed. I'd price up the wheel refurb though and take that into account

It's this ad:
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3293362.htm Discussed somewhere on here too, think Amar posted that it needs a replacement cat sourcing. I'd go for the one you've found anyway - love dolphin grey (my A6 is) and it really suits the '8 - but useful as a potential indicator of value.

That Dolphin grey looks nice, well presented, but it has got 120K on the clock, and theres lots more around that might be better value for money... That ex Rowan Atkinson one is still knocking about, Murple with special order leather, I was half tempted on that myself...
