Does anyone know where this tank can be purchased?

I used an old early 911 washer bottle. It fit fine. Sorry for the poor pics. The car is not available for better pics right now.

Does everyone/anyone think it's correct, or just an improvised solution?

Does anyone have a pix of what is "more correct"?

It wasn't supplied on the production models, so probably an improvised solution for
sports purpose cars. I don't recall ever seeing it listed as an option.

I concour...NOT factory...neither are the air cleaners. A euro/sports model??? Hard to tell from the pic, but looks like a windshield washer fluid bottle of some kind was used as an oil overflow catch can.
