I know what it feels like to have the engine go...as does mike i'm sure. In the case of my old 3.7QS, it hadn't had the box done yet and the risk was too great to get it repaired at £3k+ but your is truly a unique beast and you've spent so much time and effort getting it to spec, it seems almost cruel not to be able to enjoy her for a bit longer.
I hope it works out ok for you and that you're back on the road soon - i've always loved that green and still have never seen another to date so hope it doesn't have to be sent to S8 heaven!
Good luck!

Sorry I missed this post earlier, thanks Oli. It does really help
I am bidding on a salvage S8 at the moment with the hope to get the engine out of it, also been offered an A8 engine from A8 parts but would only go for that if I supercharged it. We shall see, I'm in no rush now so can take my time and maybe even build something special
