If it had a darker interior that'd be near perfect spec, with a proper exhaust fitted

Other than ceramics it's got just about everything you'd want methinks.

Having had black interiors on my D2 S8 FL and my D4 Tdi, and a brown interior on my original D2 S8, I fancy a change and the cream looks really fresh.

The exterior colour is my only doubt, I'd prefer a darker blue than that (I loved the Ming blue pearlescent of my old S8).

Buy it, I looked at that on his site and as said its a really good spec, and for a change he's not the most expensive out there.

Price seems fair to me, especially considering his usual optimistic pricing policy.

Very good spec.

I've been to see a couple of his cars in the past, they weren't prepared any better than anywhere else to be honest, not sure why he has a reputation for great cars.

I'd agree with Sarg. I looked at a couple of Oscar's D2's when looking for mine, and his were overpriced at the time, and - in one instance in particular - were mis-described: not materially, but enough to give me enough doubt to steer clear. My experience may not have been typical though.

Bose was also standard on the S8 and probably some other bits I forget


Nice spec car this, I confess I stopped and digested its details on a browse through autotrader the other day.

If you want a good spec car, Oscar is a good place to be. His technical accuracy in the his adverts are usually second to none as he knows the specs, but the presentation of said car is what people usually get put off by. If you can see past this, you'll likely be able to pick up something quite nice...
