I know what they look like from that car but not sure what the "optional" one was!

I used to have an 8-track in my first motor. Only had 2 cartridges though and played them to death.

My dads DS 23 and 404 estate had one of them. I was recently trying to explain to someone that my dad used to play his 45s in his car and they looked at me like i was bonkers. True about the bumbs though - in Africa the gravel roads meant the needle was jumping every two seconds.
