If memory serves, the "V" is for the black landau section of the roof that simulates a leather textured material. |

Hello Frederic. Thanks for your addition.
Looks like the two types of Landau Roofs (I highlighted these by red):
Landau simulated leather textured material (without order code)
Landau painted (order code 288)
So what the difference between them?
