Default Sunroof Delete 968?

http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/...=10&t=10&cids=

Found this serving the internet tonight and it claims to be a sunroof delete car. Based on the pic I can *barely* make out the roof and it doesn't appear to have a sunroof. Is this incredibly rare? I didn't know there were sunroof delete 968s that weren't racing oriented.

97% sure all the Euro cars, Coupes, Sports, Clubsports and Turbo S all had solid roofs as options.

i think the North America 968s also had this option by special order.

Okay, now you are just being cruel. Bad enough that you post a sunroof delete coupe, but it in Horizon Blue? *drool* lol

Quite a few other weird things about the description, though!

"CENTRAL LOCKING Yes - Remote"
Was this even an option? Or would that have to be aftermarket? I've never seen a remote key for a 968.

"CRUISE CONTROL No"
Odd, I thought this was standard. Was it an option in other markets?

"HIGH STOP LIGHT No"
Maybe because it was delivered to Japan? Did they just used the 944S2-style non-lighted spoiler there?

"FOG/DRIVER LIGHTS No"
That can't possibly be right, can it? I can see them in the photo, I think.

Obviously you can remove the fog/driving lights and replace them with air ducts, but we can see it right in the photos, the lights are still there.

There are a few North American 968 coupes out there with sunroof delete. They are rare.

My wife and I special ordered a new 2011 Audi Q5 2.0T without the sunroof. Not that I'll be tracking the car, I just wanted to keep the $1500 rather then have the roof.

Jeff, I also special ordered an A4-no sunroof, and Pearlescent White Pearl paint. Took a good while to arrive since they had to close down the paint line to do a run of Pearlescent paint-three stage as I recall.

Its rare to find a 968 without a sunroof in the UK too, those without attract a price premium too as they are a good base for any 968 race series.

Did it come with a separate key fob for the remote locking?

Audi is selling more cars then they can build currently. There are huge supply/demand issues in NA right now. People ordering cars without any special equipement/paint are waiting a while to get their car.
