Shes a beauty (or at least she was).
Weeks after my dad got his first 3500 (BER 20V) that I have discussed in another thread, we revisited the dealership for whatever reason and there was a brand new V8-S in the same colour as yours in the showroom.
My Dad being a fanatical Manchester City fan was gutted they hadn't told him this was coming in! I remember to this day his jaw dropping when he saw it.
Good luck with bringing her back to her former glory!
