FULL SPECIFICATION ON OUR WEBSITE
Among the many luxury saloons on the market, the A8 quietly asserts itself as the choice for those who value discretion, engineering, and deep comfort over flash. And within that understated world, this particular example stands out - not for loud colours or aggressive trim, but for its astonishing level of specification. We've not come across another like it.
Where this car truly sets itself apart, though, is in its options list, which totalled just shy of 40,000 new. Featured is nearly every desirable package Audi offered at the time, totalling the original list price to 112,815.
Today, at around 22% of its original value, it represents one of the most compelling value propositions in modern luxury motoring. We can say with confidence that there is currently no other A8 on the market offering this depth of specification at anything close to this money.
Finished in Mythos Black Metallic over Sard Brown Valcona leather, the colour combination is quietly superb. The rich brown hide, paired with natural Eucalyptus wood inlays and an optional Alcantara headlining, lifts the cabin far beyond what most people expect from an A8. It feels warm, architectural and properly expensive a space designed to be lived in, not merely driven. Externally, subtle chrome detailing, also featured on the 20-spoke wheels add just enough visual intent without disturbing the car's inherent restraint.
The second and most current keeper acquired the car in January 2019 from Whetstone Audi, with just 8,000 miles covered. It's since been used exactly as it should be: long journeys, premium fuel only, and maintenance carried out on time and documented via Audi's digital service history. Since arriving with us, it's been fully inspected by our Audi factory-trained technician and comprehensively future-proofed - including gearbox oil change, additional lubrication service, upgraded air filters, new auxiliary belt, intercooler, upper and lower suspension arms, and a full four-wheel alignment. Nothing has been deferred or ignored.
Some will glance at the mileage and see a number approaching six figures. We see something far more important: how the car has been used, maintained and how it presents today. Diesels of this calibre thrive on long-distance use, and we would be far more cautious of a low-mileage example that's spent its life doing short trips.
