[V8] V8 ,S4 sunroof

[Bastian Homburg]

The car was sold to a "scene known" guy in Germany who takes these cars 
apart and deals in parts. Maybe he could snap some pictures - I can ask 
him if you want.
But this definitely is an aftermarket sunroof. Remember, in Europe, the 
sunroof was NOT standard equipment and not all original owners ordered 
it, although most did. It`s harder to find a V8 without a sunroof than with.
I`ve seen several V8s with aftermarket glass sunroofs - they just look 
cheap and "un-original".

Picture angle and size make it hard to see, but the way that roof seems
to stick up higher than the rest of the roof line would suggest an after
market (cheap) sunroof.  I've seen several type 44's over the years with
these, when type 44's were newer it was cheaper to install an after
market sunroof than a fix an OEM motor or mechanism.  

Anyone here parlez français well enough to send the seller a message and
ask what it is?
