An insert for 275? What and why? Is it just rarity? Some strange one off design that no other car uses?

Not even sure. Koni I think. That's the cheapest I could find autoatlanta/pelican etc. I am looking at the fronts. Now I just found these on eBay, from autoatlanta and that seems more appropriate. 195 for two boge reproductions. https://ebay.us/m/UTa4Zh |

we had the original boges duplicated by a suspension firm in England. The give the exact factory ride and are not harsh like the bilstein/koni shocks. Easy straight forward installation, but we used a generic gland nut, so when tight shows some extra threads
