Lovely car, and like the contrasting 50/50 split of light and dark interior.

Nice looking motor Nick, and I understand when you say I probably know.
I apologise if my demonstration made you spend time and bucks. I'm toying with the idea of letting mine go, bloody insurance has doubled, thinks it's my age.

I thought I was going to add another S8 Plus to our ranks today, 5 hour trip to Ipswich and back to realise the car doesn't have HUD, which is a must have for me. My fault entirely, just didn't think to check as thought it was standard on the Plus
Think I'm going to revert my focus to a nicely specced D5, the search goes on. (PS Still looking for a low mileage D2 S8 too in addition)

This could be a good time to get a decent S8 with the D5 S8 now being delivered and some good examples getting traded in. Apart from the S model the D5's seem to comprise only V6's, either diesel or petrol. I've seen some 2019/2020's with delivery mileage for pretty much what I paid for the D4. If you're going to be doing a lot of miles the D5 is probably the rational way to go, and I believe that HUD is standard on them
