How do you tell if a Scania R 480 is a V8? (apart from the obvious V8 decals)
Q the sarky comments 
The engine note would instantly give it away but all the Scania 480s are V8s anyway so it does indeed seem to be a rather stupid question. 
normally the curtains only go back halfway over the side windows

I think they were Rob. The 4 series had a V8 460, 6 pot 470 and V8 480 then they jumped to the V8 530.

they have some sort of fault that when the driver accelerates the engine blips

And the front fog lights are on regardless of the weather and the driver is wearing sunglasses also regardless of the weather.
Just buy a little V8 stick on badge from ebay and anything can be a V8.

Loads of gay stuff stuck to it from CDC Accessories…
The driver is wearing old, scuffed clothes because he has a great truck but a crap wage…
