The Audi A8 was Audi’s full-size luxury sedan, with the 4.2 Quattro powered by a 4.2-litre DOHC V8 engine producing some 350bhp and 325lb ft of torque. Allied with the six-speed Tiptronic transmission and Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system with a Torsen centre differential, it delivers confident performance and traction. Built on a lightweight aluminum Audi Space Frame (ASF) and equipped with adaptive air suspension, the A8 combines precise handling with a smooth, comfortable ride.

Supplied new through the Audi dealer Corkhills Garage on the Isle of Man on 1st November, 2003, and finished in the attractive Lightning Silver, this well-specified A8 is a rare survivor, being a 4.2-litre V8 Quattro model. It is also notably well-preserved, with a modest mileage of 75,000 going some way to explain its smart overall condition. There is scarcely space to detail all its equipment, but highlights include power-operated, automatically-dimming door mirrors with memory settings, all-round air suspension to sports specification, burr walnut interior trim, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, a navigation system with colour screen, forged alloy wheels and sun screens for the rear windows.

The Audi arrived on the British mainland in 2010 having covered around 8,000 miles, since when it has had just three keepers, including a long-term owner from 2010 to 2022. While its annual mileage on the mainland has been significantly more than it was on the Isle of Man, it has been appropriately maintained, as the service book testifies – there are eight service stamps, mostly from main dealers and specialists, the last of which was administered at 71,088 miles. MOTed with no advisories until March, 2026, it has proven itself to be a truly dependable car which remains an ideal motorway cruiser even at 22 years old, and exudes understated and tasteful luxury.
