I'll take a shot at it. Now that it's been established that the original owner like to take long trips in this car. Maybe when he packed for these trips the reduced boot space would not allow closure of the boot lid. He needed something to tie the lid down to. So he installed the U-Bolt.Me? I am intrigued by the tow hitch just behind the boot catch. What is that all about? John.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
No reserve, currently at $55K. Could be a steal.
