update on todays fun
Ok, so I went and saw: https://www.specialistcarsgroup.co.u...02211302156405
Must say the guy I met was very friendly and professional, we went for an extended test drive and mechanically the car was fine. Gear changes precise and engine pulled strong, brakes had recently been refurbished stopped fine. The glass sunroof was really a nice touch, not sure why they werent like that as standard? weight? the black dash and black steering wheel really worked well, inside it was great. The main red flag was the 11 owners and the total lack of service history, no garage invoices for the work. Just A4 europarts invoices with hand written mileage and "service done". The car was sold at auction on 28Nov in Glasgow and the last owner europarts invoices are in Glasgow so match the evidence. The car still had residual glue on the front screen id say from the auction house. For me the bodywork was the main issue, tatty and for me a full respray would be required, on a 6.5k car with 11owners, 134,000miles and no history doesn't make sense. Some issues. 1. Drivers door was 3-4mm too low, was out of alignment (image) but gave the vibe of crash damaged. gap in seal on top of door. RHS front bumper wasn't flush with the wing (image), looking underneath the arch was clear over spray. The drivers door had weird peeling again a sign of poor respary. 2. Front bumper paint peel and front passenger door paint peel- 3. Fuel cap was so badly corroded Ive never seen such a thing, looks ok outside but inside WOW (image) 4. Rear Passenger door window frame corrosion was like something from the titanic (image) and has corrosion chipping on skirt 5. rear wing has a dent 6. Rear driver side door heavy chips from smashing into cars or walls. 7. Wheels need refurb, inside corrosion is awful 8. Drivers rear door frame, paints chipped away 9. the PS1 was just in the boot mounted on a frame, looked totally screwed, the tv in the rear didnt work just cannon fodder in the rear. 10. reversing sensors didnt work, boot grommet was cut and inside a wire was sheared might be linked? overall, would be a massive project and not something I have the time for? At £6495, is it priced well? id say it would take quite a bit of ££ to get it to a place id take it to a car meet. Last edited by Marty; 17th December 2022 at 06:37 PM.

All s8's and d2's in general you will find will be project cars, just priced differently.
I strongly suggest you contact MikkiJayne about her prefl S8 that she's restoring, it will be a ready to go sorted out S8 with no financial input after purchase other than fuel and insurance.

Its priced a little high with the body damage but not outrageously so given how few there are left. Thats pretty average condition for the price bracket tbh. To get something significantly better you're going to be in the 10-15K range.
The driver's door has probably been fiddled with. Its not uncommon for them to end up out of alignment like that, and the window frames are notoriously difficult to get right if they have to be removed for repairs. Ditto the bumper - the brackets on the wings bend slightly leaving the corners sticking out like that The corroded fuel door and door triangles are standard fitment these days. They all go like that eventually. Many fuel doors have been replaced but the door triangles are an ordeal to get to and require the door completely stripping, then you have to line the window frame up again. Its common for the black B-pillar trims to suffer the same way. The PS1 frame is how they are. They were dealer-fitted and all that kit was knocked up by a small British electronics manufacturers, hence why it looks a bit agricultural. Shame it didn't work though. I've yet to encounter one that does. The boot cable grommets are all like that, unless the previous owner was dilligent enough to fit one of my polyurethane replacements. Its unrelated to the parking sensors. That's probably because one sensor is bad or damp. Common problem, and cheap enough to solve. On to the next one...

James' (RS6) Fern Green S8 should be up for sale at Martin Atkinson Cars in January.
It doesn't fit the bill here because of the beige interior, but someone might be interested. Pics of the car here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=14673

@spanker
That green car looks really nice and I could maybe live with cream as it would contrast nicely.
Real shame RS6 didnt put it up in the forum 1st, rather than to a dealer that then adds £3k on top. Ive always bought and sold cars privately, cut out the middle man and both save or make a little more on the car. I can see on the forum, he has attempted to sell it multiple times, and the asking no offers price in 2019 was 5.5k I look at that car at £10995 with 131k and think its 3k too much. Quoting service history from 6yrs ago is hardly relevant, again will probably need timing belts and other stuff doing. Its also in S****horpe for me might as well be Rotterdam! thanks for lettting me know.... Last edited by Marty; 19th December 2022 at 08:56 AM.

James (RS6) bought the car from Lee Dennick in 2016 (Lee is not a forum member so I never referenced him here). Lee regretted selling the car so bought it back from James last year. (I've been chatting with Lee recently). Lee then recently saw this: https://www.martinatkinsoncars.co.uk...shire/20667142 Discussed here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=16809 So he's just recently traded in the S8 for the D3 W12 And that is why it is now at a dealer awaiting preparation

Makes sense
@spanker, thanks for politely correcting me, wasn't at all obvious that he was no longer the current owner.
Thought it was strange in his posts he mentioned Portsmouth for servicing then it ended up in S****horpe! Thanks Marty
