I spent a while looking for a good D2 S8.
On the whole there is only 4 or 5 for sale in the UK at any time on eBay/ Pistonheads/ Autotrader. Mostly the cars for sale are at a dealer and no idea what it is or mention any of the key areas. Or owners who bought one, not done anything with it apart from put nasty alloys on it now selling it as it has problems they fail to mention in the advert. No car will be perfect but at the very least good history, cambelt and gearbox are an absolute must. Its great to be back in a D2, and my new S8 is actually better condition than my old one which is always a bonus. Its not perfect of course, the CD changer has decided to throw a senior moment its nothing to change them out.

Excellent Sir Will! A truly stunning car, but I would say that, it looks like mine! Aqua Blue Pearl I assume!

We looking to upgrade our second car and for the past few days I'm drilling my missus head about D2 S8, but she absolutely can't stand the look from outside - I may just divorce her, she hurt my feelings too much.
This would be ideal situation for me, finally having D2 and D3 on the driveway, but she just wont drive it
