Unhappy The A8 is gone :(
Sold this morning to a guy who came down from Newcastle with a one-way ticket

Gave it one last drive this morning and I'm sad to see it go but all good things must come to an end!

Never mind what - whyyyy?????….

It's sad to lose a car from the forum "family", even sadder to lose an owner as well, so I agree with Neil, hopefully you'll be back in the fold soon… :-)

I think I agree with Neil too

D2s have grown on me over the last few years and after every event. So you never know

And the reason for sale, I really fancy a convertible!

I started it at £9k and slowly reduced it to £8k and I eventually sold it for £7,750 for a quick sale, so I'm happy.

I'll still lurk and post on here of course.

That's a lovely car for less than £8K - someone got a bargain!

You'll need to keep your eyes peeled. He must have hit 80 on my 30 road as he left my house lol!

I was struggling to drum up enough interest with it at £8,500/£9,000 and getting a bit fed up and impatient so dropped it to around £8,000.
