As ever it's very difficult to price these. Really generic S8 plates are usually priced around £150.

If the letters are reasonably plausible as matching someone's initials then maybe £200-£250 (I think mine was about £200).

After that it depends if there is some additional "meaning" enlarging the market beyond individual S8 owners, of which there are really not a lot. I've seen S8 plates on other types of car, I think there's one around here on a Volvo for example. Interpreting the 8 as a B for example can add meaning, though I'm not sure that does anything here.

My first port of call (and where I bought both my personalised plates) is Regtransfers ( https://www.regtransfers.co.uk/ ) where I note they seem to have this "on their books", though I'm not sure what that means exactly.
