Hello everyone, I am the new owner of this A8. The car drives and feels amazing. I am currently having on average 23 mpg. I cleaned the sunroof edges and it seems that the leek is gone. Overall amazing value for the money.

We NEED more older classics on your channel Calvin

The 2008 S8 V10 was my ultimate dream car when I was 16. Once I have the garage space I might hunt for a pristine low mileage example to live out my teenage car fantasy.

You should deffo keep this and go to town onit Calvin it's so different and such a special car I haven't seen many other videos on these and certainly never seen somebody use one as a project and do something special too one, I think it would be good for the channel

Would be an epic series !

The wood trim is actual real wood, its just a wood veneer. Its also aluminum backed and coated. It has a 2-3mm thick clear coating to give it the shine. If you ever go to a junk yard try to find any Audi and break in half a piece (if its already damaged) and you will find a wood veneer, and it will splinter and the fibers are easy to push and dent with a fingernail.

I remember Jeremy Clarkson's hypermiling long distance run to Scotland in an Audi A8. Good times.

Love to see your enthusiasm for this car. Great video 👍🏻

Omg I’m fully in love I never thought I’d see one off these on your channel.!!

Love to see reviews of older cars, subscribed! Amazing Audi :) Due to its crystal structure, aluminium under normal circumstances, is non-magnetic.

You deserve a lot more subs and likes absolutely great content mate love it

Great video. I love all the oddball Audi's. Loved all the earlier V8's and 200 quattro's.

These a8 are absolute tanks my uncle has one of these (but I think compared to the one in the video its a early generation/ pre/facelift) its done over 500,000km and it still drives like new - air suspension still functioning. i don't think he's changed the timing chain since he bought it new.

Absolutely love cars like this!! Fantastic content!!😎😎😎😎

THAT car might be a lot of things..... but it's LOVELY. I wish you every success with it.

One of my personal favourites, these cars were way ahead of their time!

Super review cracking big motor ! Started looking for one 😆quite fancy wofting around in one of these

I have one of these . It’s so good , it has a upgraded sports exhaust , sounds amazing, such a smooth ride.

This era was my 'watch top gear religiously' student years when I had a £250 90's mk1 1.2 clio but was in awe of anything with 2L or more! Some others to look for, the V12 TDI Q7! The V10 TDI Toureg! The CL600 with 1000nm torque. I saw you've already had a W8 passat on, good lad! Also any V8 SLK, madness for engine size to car size. Looking forward to you getting more, hilarious to see teletext in the options hahaha

Thats a real tidy one Calv, drivers seat is in excellent condition. Would love it to go with my S8. My fave car you have reviewed ever.

Great video! Thanks!

Outstanding Vlog !! Calvin !! .........Bless

had one of these years ago was the 4.2 v8 sooooo comfortable . used to sit on the drive and listen to the bose surround sound as couldnt drive it much with 15mpg lol

Calvin is the transporter.

I like you. You are real ! Also down to earth and I like the fact that you really love your motors. I look forward to watching more of your reviews.

Great car! What app do you use for the spec check mate?

This is awsome calv 🙌🏽

I don't normally like wood in a car but this looks great. This car would be great to restore on show like wheeler dealers. In years to come this could be worth a bomb. Apart from restoring i would love to see it tuned to the moon!!!!

Love your channel Calvin great guy

All the best Calvin

Love it. Love Audi's. That A8L would be great towing our caravan in total comfort. Kids in the back chillin 😎

Great video. Seeing teletext there, forgot that had even existed let alone been in a car in 2005 lol. Hope you feel better soon Calv

I remember seeing the used Phaeton W12’s disappear from the country in a matter of months, I’ve always wondered what country they were exported to.

I passed my driving in 06. I remember these about. Road presence for sure.

Amazing car once again buddy. Your next car needs to be an Audi S8, the exhaust note on it is something else!!

Good to see the TV display drop down wasn't rattling and grinding as it flipped as many did I thought L was for limousine my bad !! Gr8 content tho Calvin

Looks nice and straight, it's hard to align those cars after a bash, this one looks original.

Hey great video!! Love a big fat Audi… what is the HPi check app you use?

get well soon Calv 👍

I think I’d love my next car to be the facelift A8 of this era with the 4.2 V8 tdi, been eyeing them up for a while. My dad currently has a mega spec 08 VW Phaeton (this cars brother) and it is an amazing piece of kit

I owned a 4.2 tdi twin turbo which was remapped and derestricted. I've owned many fast cars but that could race most supercars and bikes. 175mph off the clock and more power still... faster than a rs4 b7 etc. Amazing car very capable. Definitely one to go for

​@@irfanahmed8414Im currently trynna decide between the 4.2tdi and the 6.0 for my second car. I do like the better mpgs of the diesel but the speed and the sick sound of the 6.0 keeps pulling me right back. If only I can find one thats been well maintained for under €8k,Imma grab it most probably.

love the w12 engine in the early 2000s it was a dream lol.. now pull that w12 out and put it in a mk4-5 golf ;)

A real underrated car. Awesome example.

just fitted these wheels to my mk4 golf , great video calvin love the mixed up content low priced and high priced cars

absolute beast... don't ruin it.. just service it and leave it as it is... car it's a beast

A8 are really nice cars looking and mechanically 👍👍

Get well soon and take care of yourself. Back on the positive waves soon!

What app is that to check the optional extras?

Love the A8 sporting luxury

I remember Teletext, used it for checking planes landing at Heathrow

New subscriber, love the W12 👍

Roof leak will be sunroof drains, they suffer with that both the d2 and D3

In mine the driver side arm rest has an audi mobile phone in it. It's also got a solar panel in the sun roof that powers coolers so the car doesn't get too hot when parked up in summer.

Superb Video.

Hopefully you are feeling better big chap

Gotta love the teletext, it was the OG internet

If your struggling for a video for Wednesday maybe best to do a update with the on going projects E46 touring, Arthur's Golf R, Blue M5 plus anything else

Great car fantastic love an old barge

A8 lwb Quattro, love um. W12 Calv these are aluminium, aluminium space frame lol surprised you didn't know that, have it serviced gearbox etc, a lot of car for the money. A like for this video 🔥

I like the fact they have memory seats for a 04 car it's insane

S8 5.2 V10 is worth a shout too, just leave the same amount of money spare for repairs and maintenance

One of my favorite cars an tried to get one with low mileage a few years ago but I’m too much of a BMW fan. Still may try to get one.

Would sound amazing straight piped!!

Is it with or without turbo? Sounds best without turbos.

Calvin, you should keep hold of that Audi A8, get the sunroof fixed and keep it for yourself for a little while. Enjoy it before you sell it on

just drewling over the m5 in the back but thats a good bit of kit

I absolutely love this car.

Nice I had one of the. Love it. 👍👍👍

its a beast of a older audi a8 car cal m8,its my kind of car a motorway cruiser,take care pal.

That is the engine in the Bentley GT, its a rocket, beautiful model, but it will be thirsty

Hi what is that app? I would like to know what my car cost new this is the only bit of paper I don't have is the original dealer invoice.

If you turn off ESP the 0-60 is quicker because the quattro system doesn't bog down as much.

Lovely car Calvin very nice 👍

Am trying to decide to go for a w12 or the S8 between 2006 and 2008. The sound of the s8 is fantastic but then it wants to hold your bank balance Hostage. W12 is more of a relaxed with no carbon build up . Which one would you recommend 🤔

Get well soon Calv

I nearly swapped a 530d touring for one of these. Dodged a massive bullet. And didn’t they have fingerprint start but had to get rid due to fingers being chopped off.

Was already thinking transporter .... Have you got it out of your system now lol

Blimey, I thought the A6 was massive, this is in a league of its on for space

Grown mans car there 🔥👏

Calvin why didn’t you move the rear seat to show us :-( how much it moves reclined.. Thanks

Two classics in one video the reeboks and the a8 😂

Nice one cool car mate

not that anyone would but bet with a straight pipe that w12 would sing

The starter motor sounds like my v6 3.0 😆

another cool video, love seeing the older cars. I've just bought a A8 but a 3.0D so all the comfort without the fuel bills. suspensions adjustable through that pop up screen. dynamic will lower it and stiffen it up. sunroof water ingress is the drains they block under the car.
