A well maintained example of the venerable D2 S8, recently serviced, 97k miles.

EQUIPMENT
Ebony Black pearlescent paintwork, Black leather upholstery, 5-speed Tiptronic transmission, Heated and electric front sports seats with driver’s seat memory, 20-inch polished 9-spoke alloy wheels, Satellite navigation system, Tilt and slide electric sunroof, Front and rear parking sensors, Bose sound system, Aluminium door mirror casings, Multifunction leather steering wheel with Tiptronic controls, Digital climate control, Birdseye maple wood inlays, Individual front armrests, Electric windows, Electric folding door mirrors, Boot cargo net, Spare wheel, Spare key.

EXTERIOR
This handsome S8 looks fantastic in pearlescent Ebony Black. The paintwork remains to an excellent standard all round with a deep shine and only a handful of minor blemishes to report. In line with the mileage there is a dusting of light frontal stone chips and a few discreet marks on the bumpers further evidencing the car’s honesty. The lights are clear all round and there is no damage to any of the brightwork or grilles.

Having been under the same ownership since it was just 6 months old the car has clearly been a much loved example. The S8’s combination of luxury, high performance and superior build quality has led most of them to quite effortlessly rack up the miles. As a result, sub-100k mile cars such as this one have fast become a rare find, especially in such good shape and with such great provenance to boot.

INTERIOR
The black leather sports seats still provide excellent comfort, feeling as soft and supportive as ever. The maple wood inlays are a nice complement, shining like new with no fading or cracks to report. The upholstery is really well presented with a lovely matte finish, and even commonly worn areas such as the steering wheel and driver’s bolster hint at only light use. All the electrics work as they should, and the switchgear remains feeling reassuringly solid to operate.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The venerable 4. 2-litre FSI powerplant starts first turn of the key, idles without fuss, and effortlessly picks up to cruising speed. Provoke the accelerator further and the tuned V8 really hauls the car forward, pulling through the gears smoothly with an intoxicating soundtrack to match.

Lifting the bonnet, the engine bay presents to a very high standard with no signs of any damage or poor repair to be found. The last service was only recently carried out in October 2022 at 97, 513 miles. The car was also fully inspected on arrival with us for the new keeper’s peace of mind; the workshop were particularly impressed with the clean condition of the underside.

WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The factory spec’d 20-inch alloy wheels look fantastic and really fill the arches perfectly. They are shod in premium tyres with plenty of tread left front and rear. The brakes have also been inspected and remain in fine operational condition, effortlessly bringing this super-sized super saloon to a halt quickly and in straight line.

HISTORY FILE
First registered in April 2002 this fantastic S8 has now driven only 97k miles from new. It was purchased from Lindbrook Audi (the supplying dealer) as an ex-demonstrator by the current keeper’s husband in October 2002. After more than 19 years of careful ownership, and following on from his passing in early 2022, the registration was transferred into his wife’s name. Accordingly the V5C shows 3 keepers in total (Audi, Mr Taylor, and Mrs Taylor).

Within the paperwork you’ll find the original Audi document pack, owner’s manuals, and the fully stamped service booklet (entries detailed below). The first services were carried out by Audi and then from 2008 to 2021 the car was looked after by one Audi specialist workshop. The timing belt was last changed at 82k miles, and a full mechanical inspection was carried out on arrival with us. The advisory-free MOT is valid until October 2023.
