Could you please post a photo of the hatch area?  I've always wondered what the space back there looks like.

I thought you had a spare oil temp gauge.  I did not realize it is a whole second console with a second gauge in it.  Wow.

This picture had me wondering about the rear area too... 

I now see that there is a pull up soft net to keep things from coming forward (similar common in Volvo wagon) and then there is a very common cargo shade, shown closed in the above picture.

Nice pick up. 

 

Makes me want to go car shopping.

That's a great find.

I had a '99 M Coupe for 8 years from new, and sold it for $17k (kicks self).  That's the one car I've sold that I wished I hadn't.  Enjoy this one.

Yup the spare gauge is in the spare console.  The gauge in the car is reading maxed out again.  It worked for the last 2 hours of the trip, but when I took the car to the hardware store yesterday it was not working again.

Didn't happen to see one of these in the PO's garage, did you? It's another license plate possibility.

 

Extremely nice find, BTW!!
