Sell them both and buy 2 D2s!

Manny, I'm so sorry mate. I really I am, I went through similar thing when my dad was murdered couple of years ago.

You've got a tough call to make. I agree with sentimental value, it's your dad's car on the end of the day. I do really like idea of selling both cars and buying better/newer D3, maybe more economical if that bothers you, and because it's partially bought from your Dad's car money, you will keep that sentimental value with new car. It's not the same what driving his car, but driving an A8 it's not the same what driving Fabia.
Another thing, you've got two A8s, there is a good reason I believe why you've chosen cars from the executive range not hatchback.
If you wanted a hatchback you would have one, but not comfort and class is most important for all the people, sometimes sentimental value beats it all.
Remember, there is nothing wrong with selling the car and using the money to buy a newer or better one, ask yourself if your Dad would mind it or not.

Tough call as mentioned earlier, but you've got to go with your instinct.

Whatever you decide it will be the right choice

I had a similar conundrum when my father died, a few years ago.
However, in my case the main emotional attachment to the car had been his, not mine, as I hardly ever drove it. Luckily my niece (his granddaughter) was in need of a similar car at the time and she ran it until it was pretty much worn out.

We have 2 cars (see signature) and the small one (Focus) is a handy local runabout, the S8 gets used for longer trips or when we need 2 at the same time (once or twice a week, but probably avoidable in all honesty).

So, consider two things:
1. Do you have a direct emotional attachment to the car having used it, or is that just a side-effect of other feelings?
2. Why not keep both, you can probably insure and maintain them both for not much more extra than the A8 petrol you'll save when you use it?
