Ski Rack can be yours - but - you gotta buy the car!

The "unobtainable" w113 ski rack seems to be sitting in the trunk of this car coming up for auction.

That’s a nice looking car too
What’s the orange thing in front of the brake fluid reservoir?

James, this looks like an alarm siren - a very loud one.

And in a clear sign that I need to get out more, check out the fit on the glove box from the interior shot.

Hmm, nice car, but what is that green thing on top of the alternator?
Also a new location for the antenna.

That is a very interesting location? Dealer or later installation you think?
